Green Plan Moves Steel Unions Toward Possible Settlement
William Green, head of the American Federation of Labor, urged Pittsburgh steel workers to postpone a threatened strike by proposing a three man presidential board to adjudicate code violations and oversee elections for bargaining representatives. The plan aims to settle disputes through mediation with a final decision by the board, potentially ending the strike if labor capital and the government agree. Separately, the code authority for cleaners and dyers withdrew consent to the code citing Johnson’s suspension of minimum price provisions, increasing costs and threatening profitability.
