Independents Seek Voice on U S War Labor Board
Independent labor unions push for representation on the War Labor Board, arguing independents risk being shut out of wage disputes. Leaders like Matthew Smith of the Mechanics Educational Society aid the effort, citing 250000 members in the Confederated Unions of America and recent CIO AFL tensions. The campaign calls for coordinated strikes if needed, and tensions rise over board access and influence.
