Gazette Cleared in Guild Strike at Little Rock Gazette
The Arkansas Gazette was exonerated of unfair labor practice charges in the CIO American Newspaper Guild strike against the Little Rock morning paper. Trial examiner Frederick B. Parkes recommended dismissal of the union's complaint, ruling the editorials and circulation walkouts were economic rather than caused by unfair practices. Twenty-three newsroom employees struck December 17, 1949, followed by 10 circulation staffers. Parkes’ 61 page report awaits NLRB approval with 20 days to seek reconsideration.
