Biographical / Historical

Existing agreements between the parties expired on August 31, 1952 but they were unable to reach an agreement. The five issues which could not be reconciled were:



1. A wage increase of 45 cents per hour

2. Incorporation of cost of living bonus

3. Union shop

4. Check-off of union dues

5. Elimination of the emergency clause



Having exhausted all other remedies, a Board of Conciliation was appointed under the Industrial Relations and Disputes Investigation Act.
