Fureseth Attacks Arbitration Bill During Chicago Stop
Andrew Fureseth, AFL legislative committee member, warned in Chicago that Albany moves to settle industrial disputes by conciliation and arbitration would be New York’s most radical attack on labor. He argued the bill would strip workers of strikes rights, empower employer lockouts, require union and employer groups to register with the labor commissioner, and establish a three member arbitration court with one employer and one labor representative each. The court’s decisions would be final, with heavy fines for noncompliance and no appeal, while pending arbitration could suspend industries.
