ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY

This was a board appointed by the Governor of New Jersey under Public Laws of 1946, Chapter 38 of the State of New Jersey, which applied to public utilities. The Board was composed of Professor Emmanuel Stein as the public representative, Hart T. Sweeney as the company representative, and Alexander Eltman as the union representative. Negotiations for a renewal of the contract which expired in May were begun in March. Five basic issues were presented to the panel, a general wage increase, reduction of the work day, reduction in the length of the wage progression, pensions and the union shop.
