Collection material in English
This was a panel hearing conducted under the Disputes Procedures of the Wage
Stabilization Board relating to the terms of a renewed contract between the parties.
Since the American Locomotive Company was primarily a steel fabricating company, and
its contract with the United Steelworkers of America did not expire until January
31, 1952, the parties agreed to con-tinua negotiations rather than take part in the
hearings of the Steel Industry Board earlier in 1952.
But the parties were unable to reach an agreement and they returned to the Board. A
procedural hearing was held in Washington, D. C. on April 22, 1952. At this meeting
it was decided to hold separate hearings on each of the three cases before a single
panel. The panel members were:
Public Members Donald K. Strauss, chairman William A. Hazell
Labor Members Benjamin Fischer James S. Killen
Industry Members Virgil Day
George Myers
The union presented a list of 22 demands, approximately the same issues involved in
the Steel Industry Dispute; a general wage increase, a guaranteed annual wage, paid
holidays, inequities, shift and geographical differeatials, overtime and improved
vacations. One particular problem was the request by the union for a company wide
contract which the company opposed on the ground that the plants were not similar.
Hearings were held in New York City from May 21, 1952 to June 27, 1952.
