ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY

This case was referred to the National Mediation Board under an arbitration agreement by the parties when they were unable to reach an agreement on wages for a new contract that was signed on January l, 1954. The Panel consisted of David L. Cole, Chairman, Edward G. Hamilton and William G, Lindner. Hearings were begun on March 22, 1954 in New York City. The issue submitted to the Panel was: to what extent, if any, are the employees entitled to a flat wage increase over existing rates of pay applicable to all employees of bargaining units taken together on an across-the-board basis? The union presented 76 exhibits designed to show the increase in air travel, comparative wage rates and other economic data. The company presented 11. The exhibits are not included in the transcript nor the collection.
