When the United Steelworkers of America struck the Garfield, Utah plant of the American
Smelting and Refining Co., the U.S. Wage Stabilization Board became involved, as copper
and sulphuric acid production was considered essential to national defense.
This dispute grew out of negotiations for a new contract which culminated in a strike
on July 2, 1951. On July 26 the President certified the dispute to the U.S. Wage Stabilization
since in his opinion the dispute substantially threatened the progress of National
Defense. The Chairman of the Board, George W. Taylor, appointed a panel consisting
of Lloyd K. Garrison, Chairman, G. Allan Dash, Jr. and Vernon H. Jensen.
Transcripts and exhibits of a dispute between the American Smelting and Refining Co.
and the United Steelworkers of America.
The dispute involved the Garfield, Utah plant and the issues included job evaluation,
wages, pensions, health and welfare benefits and holidays. The documents include report
of the panel; docket of case before the Wage Stabilization Board; transcript of proceedings
(2 vol.); and press releases of the Board.
