New Mediation Board to Hold Meet Tuesday
The first meeting of the new national defense mediation board was set for next Tuesday. Labor and management in several industries showed progress as New York C I C bus drivers ended an 11 day walkout and return to work Saturday while wage issues undergo arbitration. An eight day strike at General Instrument Corporation in Elizabeth New Jersey ended with increased wages for electrical workers. A nationwide pact among unions and contractors bans strikes on defense projects and ensures qualified painters for defense work. Detroit mediation efforts between United Automobile Workers and Ford Motor Co improved, with most Rouge plant workers reinstated after prior dismissals. Henry Ford warned unions may be losing ground and declined formal recognition as bargaining agents.
