Steelworkers Plan Grass Roots Political Drive in District 25
Director Whitehouse cited 1952 gift trends from four wealthy families and urged Steelworkers to donate to PACs alongside their husbands. McDonald framed union actions to shield gains from legislation, noting focus on employment, compensation, taxation, and fair practices. A Legislative Workshop Manual was issued to train stewards, with a Steelworkers Council to coordinate district politics and fund operations. Over 400 committeemen attended four sub-district meetings amid plans for further district events.
