Autoworkers File Petition For GM Union Shop Vote
The UAW-CIO filed petitions for a union shop election among 265,000 GM workers, aiming for a historic NLRB vote at over 100 plants. Local 674 and 233 leaders plan a drive in Hamilton with Ed Hellkamp and T A Johnstone, who submitted 136,000 signatures in Detroit, exceeding the 30 percent threshold. The election is set for February and will be the largest NLRB operation, amid critique of the Taft-Hartley Act and federal costs.
