Why Timken Employees Rejected Company Proposal
A Timken Roller Bearing Co proposal to raise wages 5 percent, base future quarterly adjustments on the 1950 cost of living index, extend the agreement to July 19, 1955, and curb Union access to the War Labor Board was rejected by the United Steelworkers. The plan would tie pay changes to the 172.5 index base and erase the Union’s right to a January 1951 raise.
