Old Shipyard Strike Over Non-Union Chief Sparks Labor Loss
A thousand iron workers at the Jaren Shevan & Son shipyard in Brooklyn walked out yesterday morning amid a dispute over Charles Saunders, an assistant foreman. The strike halted government repair contracts and caused extensive yard neglect totaling about 50,000 in losses. A committee contacted management in the afternoon to learn the workers’ complaint and Saunders’ role in alleged non-union staffing. The union claims Saunders’ hire signals an attempt to undermine their organization. management says Saunders is the best man for the job and will not be discharged. The government may view the strike as a failure to report and force further action.
