Abstract

Labor Faces the Company Union

Lore, Karl | April 11, 1934 issue

add to cart close window

Company unionism, always dangerous to the American labor movement, has been brought sharply forward as a major issue by the events of the past few weeks. The agreement between the American Federation of Labor and the chiefs of the automobile industry in regard to organization policies has had the effect of legalizing the company union and has done more to weaken labor's fight against these employers than anything else that has happened since the passage of the Recovery Act. The compromise has certainly not settled the issue in the automobile plants. Sooner or later labor will have to rally its forces again and fight or be crushed.
