Montgomery Ward Strike Over Closed Shop Policy
Montgomery Ward faces a Detroit strike over a War Labor Board order mandating a closed shop and union dues check-off. The District of Columbia Court of Appeals ruled such orders are advisory and not government commands, a view the Supreme Court has not reversed. Ward states it will not impose membership, ensuring merit-based employment for both union and nonmembers.
