Gigantic Struggle Over Unionizing United States Steel Plants
The Amalgamated association declares a strike at American Sheet Steel and American Steel Hoop plants, subsidiaries of United States Steel, after rejects to sign a new wage scale. About 35,000 workers may be involved as the union seeks to unionize all mills while confrontations with non union plants widen. The strike aims to force the parent company to concede to unionization while Tin Plate workers already signed, and the union promises a strategic move despite the broader corporate resistance.
