In New York on December 5, Charles R. Sligh Jr of the Nations Association of Manufacturers defied the newly merged AFL-CIO by warning the labor movement could become a ghost government with central political power. George Meany replied, insisting grievances exist but emphasizing open dialogue as tensions flare between union and industry leaders over compulsory membership, strikes, and high wage costs. The dispute grew when reporters pressed both leaders on behind the scenes influence guiding government policy.
