Giant glass workers alliances formed in Pittsburg
A formidable labor alliance unites the American Flint Glass Workers' union Window Glass Workers' association and the Glass Bottle Blowers' association to raise a several million dollar defense fund. The plan aims to back unions in future lockouts or strikes, limit overproduction, and expand organizing across the United States and Canada. Executors will use a per capita tax, with about $50,000 monthly raiseable, while preserving separate union autonomy and wage bargaining. The move follows months of consideration and seeks to unite 75,000 workers across skilled and potentially unskilled glass trades.
