Union Shop Hurdle in Steel Settlement Talks
The compulsory union membership issue remains the main obstacle in talks between seized steel interests and the government, and between the government and CIO President Philip Murray. Some firms favor a modified union shop while others oppose it, prompting a blunt warning from the union that if industry blocks a contract the government should intervene to avoid a strike. The Wage Stabilization Board proposes a 17.5 cent pay boost and other benefits worth about 8.5 cents per hour, while workers earn roughly $2 hourly.
