Shipyard workers debate wage demand and strike action
Delegates from coast shipyards plan to appeal the Macy award to the board of review and appeals in Washington while Seattle favors direct bargaining or breaking with the Emergency Fleet Corporation. The convention upholds a $1.00 basic hourly wage and a 44 hour week, with Seattle represented on the appeal committee by J A Taylor. Oakland warns of a looming strike if the War Labor Board does not act or if unions fully accept the wage demands.
