GM and Union Clash Over Incentives and Fines in Strike
The dispute centers on incentive wage plans and penalties for illegal stoppages. GM seeks fines of five dollars per worker per day for incidents of illegal stoppages, while the union offers three dollars for the first offense and five dollars for later violations with deductions from pay. A restraining order was issued in Lansing to stop pickets from interfering with office employees entering three strikebound plants. Police broke a picket line at GM’s Flint AC spark plug plant to allow nonunion staff and some office workers to pass, amid clashes and shouted insults. Talks continue as Truman’s fact-finding panel prepares to hear the case in Washington.
