CIO Demands Subsidence Legislation Call by Knight
The California CIO urged Governor Knight to call a special session to pass anti subsidence measures aimed at protecting the Wilmington Oil Field area and naval shipyard operations. The group also explored a unionsponsored right to work initiative as counter to a 1958 drive to ban the union shop. The resolution, passed unanimously by harbor area locals of the Industrial Union of Marine and Shipbuilding Workers of America, cites subsidence of up to 24 feet in 17 years and foresees potential loss of about 100,000 jobs tied to shipyards and allied industries.
