Wave of Strikes Break Out Over Nation
A nationwide wave of labor action halted production across industries. About 6 500 Philco workers in Philadelphia struck for higher wages and a pension plan, while 7 000 Singer Sewing Machine workers in Elizabeth New Jersey protested a speed up and seek better pay through the CE electrical workers. Strikes disrupted public transit in Atlantic and New Jersey, idle in Bendix Aviation South Bend plants for 13 days, and a 13 cent wage boost demand faced by Georgia transit workers. General Electric signaled opposition to wage increases, with CIO electrical workers seeking substantial gains for their 600 000 union members. Weathering the strikes, many cities saw mass transit freezes and labor actions spanning textiles, iron and plumbing trades, and electrical sectors. Regular wage patterns and retirement terms were under challenge as the labor movement presses for better compensation and working conditions.
