CIO to lead nationwide campaign for telephone workers
The CIO plans a full organizing drive among U S telephone workers after the American Union of Telephone Workers joins CIO. NFTW prepares a Miami Beach convention for June 9 to unify its member unions as Communications Workers of America. NFTW president Beirne calls AUTW move foolhardy while AUTW president Moran cites a recent NFTW led strike. CIO leaders Murray and Haywood met May 25 with 100,000 in the industry and heard a push for CIO affiliation.
