This article focuses on the U.S. labor disputes, specially the collective bargaining issues of 1967, and the concerned conflict of domination challenge between U.S. labor leaders, Walter P. Reuther and George Meany. Meany was the president of the AFL-CIO and Reuther was the Auto Workers' union president. This conflict was supposed to be the major backdrop for the determination of Reuther to challenge the domination of Meany over the American trade union movement. Labor experts and government officials were arguing that unions should restrict their demands for wage gains to the guideline rule of 3.2 per cent annually.
