Steel Executive Opposes Demands Made By CIO Union
U S Steel executive Minders Voorhees testified before the War Labor Board in Washington disputing CIO United Steelworkers wage and guaranty demands. He argued the 17 cent per hour raise and a guaranteed annual wage would trigger a government controlled economy and harm workers, presenting 1945 and 1946 figures to show deficits and tax refunds under those terms. He warned union leaders seek control over owners’ profits, not tools or ownership.
