Ten Month Hat Union Strike Over Jobs Fallout
The United Hatters Union fights a prolonged strike in South Norwalk Conn since July 1953 as Hat Corp of America shifts fine straw and felt work to nonunion plants in Winchester Tenn and Nevada Mo. The move aims to cut transport costs and may erase hundreds of jobs. The union funds the strike while claiming job security for workers in home towns.
