Merchants Propose Permanent Open Shop Trucking Plan
The Citizens' Transportation Committee backed by commercial interests announced a permanent trucking system to operate independently of Omoga aimed at ending freight tie ups due to labor disputes. The plan envisions police on each truck and open shop hiring to employ both union and nonunion workers, with funding of 5 million dollars. The move follows longshoremen strike actions and Governor Smith's calls to end walkouts as unions consider broader actions via the American Federation of Labor.
