Bethlehem Steel urged to drop employe representation plan
A federal labor official recommended Bethlehem Steel abolish its 20 year old employee representation plan, saying it violated the Wagner Act. Examiner Frank Bloom found the company dominated and interfered with the plan and supplied support for its maintenance, denying workers their right to choose reps freely. If not carried out in 10 days, the board may issue a formal compliance order. SWOC hailed the recommendation as a victory, calling for virtual elimination of company unions in the steel industry.
