AFL Leader Proposes Arbitration Board to End Steel Strike
William Green of the AFL urged a four point counter proposal to Roosevelt's Wagner plan. A three member arbitration board would resolve code violations and disputes, guarantee union organizing rights, supervise elections, and refer grievances for final decision. If accepted, the strike would be called off. The plan differs from Roosevelt's majority vote approach and was labeled vague by Green. He spoke before the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, which planned a vote on strike action.
