Unionized plumbers strike in Washington PA halts work
In Allegheny County a general plumbing firm unionized prompted a strike by over 200 building trades workers in Washington PA. The Washington Trust Company building contract was to resume after the employer paid an initiation fee and workers would stay union. Iron workers had refused to work until plumbers’ wage scale was signed. The strike followed prior clashes and a renewed push for union agreement. Separately, New Orleans labor statistics officials adjourned to meet next year in Washington DC. President Carroll D. Wright of Washington, secretary treasurer James Clark of Pennsylvania, and others eye broader union participation with fourteen states represented. A New York Court of Appeals ruling upheld union labor rights to avoid nonunion workers, clarifying negotiations when nonunion workers appear on site.
