Must Get Pay Boost Or Will Call Strike
Pittsburgh December 17 CIO United Steelworkers served notice to the steel industry that they will strike on New Year’s Day unless a ten cent hourly pay boost and other benefits are granted. President Philip Murray warned a special international convention may be called to approve any government settlement. He urged bargaining in good faith, accusing big steel of filibustering and noting no counter offer has been made. The union seeks a 15 cent raise, a larger pay spread, and 22 demands tied to pay, guaranteed wage, shop unity, and improved incentives as talks resume with U S Steel.
