Steel Strike Hits Nearly One And Half Million Workers
The nationwide steel strike kept almost 1.5 million workers idle, surpassing the 4 day 1948 walkout in duration. The central issue was the union shop, with a proposed compromise vetoed by major producers. About 600,000 idle, with $2 billion lost to the economy and $800 million in wages. Relief rolls crowded in affected areas, unemployment pay limited to two states, and Taft Hartley act references linked to union rights and job eligibility.
