Minersnation Dispute Over AFL Recognition Near End
About 2,100 workers at the Santa Rita and Hurley copper complex returned to work after AFL and labor leaders accepted a proposal from the Office of Production Management to push the union recognition issue to the National Labor Relations Board. If the board refuses to act, a national defense mediation board would decide, with its recommendation deemed final. Roughly 600 union members had struck at midnight Saturday to press for AFL as bargaining agent, halting production on large open pit mines, mill, and smelter. AFL spokesman Paul M. Peterson said union members unanimously supported resuming operations following yesterday’s meeting.
