Abstract

The Merger: Credits and Debits
December 10, 1955 issue

add to cart   close window

When the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO), consummated their well-advertised merger last week, it also marked the twentieth month of CIO strike at Kohler in Wisconsin. Pickets in front of the plant are filled with buoyant hopes-and gaping questions. But at the moment these are all consummations devoutly to be wished. Rival international unions, under the merger agreement, are "urged" to unite but not required to do so. Very few show any enthusiasm for the prospect. For many years anyway they will remain warring and divided.
