The five week steel strike continues as companies reveal a wage offer averaging 16 cents an hour plus fringe benefits totaling about 25 cents an hour. They argue compulsory union membership blocks settlement, citing freedom of choice and fear of union monopoly power over employment.
A summary of contract terms includes wage increases averaging 16 cents per hour, six paid holidays with double time for holiday work, higher shift differentials of 6 and 9 cents, three weeks vacation after 15 years, and a 5 cent reduction in the Southern differential. The agreement runs to June 30, 1954, with a reopen date June 30, 1953, on wage rates, and preserves union security and free choice of union membership amid broader labor rights debates and wartime freedom themes.
