Building crafts seek harmony as unions push wages reform
The convention urged strict wage contract fulfillment and asked crafts groups to drop anti-strike clauses to aid other crafts. It endorsed faster work safety and efficiency, with a move toward a five day 40 hour week in several cities, including New York. Efforts to end interunion disputes and to set up a permanent arbitration office were urged, alongside settlement of the long running Bricklayers and Plasterers dispute, lifting $70 million in stalled work. President Green aims to broker peace among Carpenters and Sheet Metal unions and curb Communist-influenced independent groups. Minimum wage scales across trades show high pay, with carpenters and plasterers among top earners.
