Union leaders press for compulsory unionism as a settlement stalls after five weeks of steel plant strikes affecting 600,000 workers. Companies offer the highest industry wage raise with fringe benefits while opposing compulsory membership as a freedom and employment monopoly issue. The dispute ties to defense and national economy amid ore and production disruptions.
The proposal outlines a 16 cent an hour general wage increase, six paid holidays with double time, higher shift differentials of 6 and 9 cents, three weeks vacation after 15 years, a 5 cent cut to the Southern differential, and retroactivity to April 1 1952 with a June 30 1954 contract term reopenable June 30 1953.
