Abstract

Steelworkers Will Fight
Shelton, Willard | May 24, 1952 issue

add to cart   close window

The most striking fact about the sixth biennial convention of the organization United Steelworkers in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was the apparently unshakable confidence of the delegates that, whatever their difficulties of the moment, they would eventually win their wage fight with the steel companies. The business of this convention was to serve notice on a hostile press, a hostile U.S. Congress, the hostile steel companies, a perhaps hostile Supreme Court, that steel workers were not going to be kicked around indefinitely, that they would not work indefinitely in 1952 for 1950 wages, that if necessary they would strike the basic steel industry harder and faster than ever before whenever their freedom of action was restored.
