Winnipeg Steel Firms Endorse Collective Bargaining Policy
A 1919 Winnipeg declaration from Vulcan Iron Works and others asserts recognition of collective bargaining for metal trades. The policy outlines employee rights to organize, negotiate wages and conditions, elect representatives, and settle grievances through a stepwise process with no strikes or lockouts during negotiations.Railway managers and labor leaders endorse the arrangement as equivalent to railway practice and urge acceptance as a fair settlement.
