Truman Stalls Airline Strike With Emergency Labor Board
President Truman halted a potential American Airlines pilots strike by establishing an emergency board to hear the dispute. The board has 30 days to hear and advise, preventing a strike for at least 60 days, after which a further 30 day ban applies. The wage dispute centers on mileage versus hourly pay, with pilots seeking mileage-based rates reflecting faster flights and jet era prospects.
