Steel Labor Talks Could Shape Postwar Contracts
Norman Walker notes that steel labor terms and prices influence other industries and could set patterns for 1954 labor troubles. He cites 1946 inflation, the 1952 strike, and current CIO leader David J. McDonald. With steel capacity around 70 percent, pay boosts and pensions are demanded as June 30 expirations loom, while other sectors like electrical, maritime, rubber, coal, and textiles face potential disputes amid a complex national union landscape.
