Steelworker Accepts Challenge in Dues Fight at USW
A 37 year old Pittsburgh steelworker earning 6500 a year says he will accept the challenge to disciplinary action in his bid to have the United Steelworkers rescind a two dollar monthly dues hike. David J. McDonald USW president asserts the dues increase was approved overwhelmingly and a special convention is not likely before 1958. Don Rarick leads an International Dues Protest Committee seeking a special convention and possibly a bid to run against McDonald next February.
