War Labor Board Intervenes In GM UAW Dispute
The War Labor Board takes jurisdiction over the seven day operation dispute between General Motors and the United Automobile Workers CIO at multiple plants. C E Wilson asks for WLB action while the union had appealed for mediation. The swing shift plan would keep war plants at seven days weekly while maintaining a 40 hour week for workers. GM argues overtime pay is not required unless weekly hours exceed four hours, while the union insists overtime is due per contract. Both sides pledge to accept the WLB decision. In a separate note, SWOC and Bethlehem Steel wage and union security talks are deadlocked and referred to the War Labor Board for immediate action. Wage proposals include a $1 daily increase, with Bethlehem claiming an average wage of about $1.07 per hour. California leads 1940 motor vehicle registrations with 2,773,659.
