WLB Grants Post Guild Maintenance of Membership
The Cincinnati Newspaper Guild gains maintenance of membership in its 1943 contract with the Cincinnati Post by order of the War Labor Board Newspaper Commission. The clause keeps 1943 terms in effect during negotiations for a new contract, with a 15 day escape period for members. Giesel resists signing a 1944 contract while Beyerman and Keller say similar clauses increased membership elsewhere. The commission cites the Guilds no strike record since the war began.
