Detroit Edison was part of a large holding company called North American Edison Company.
North American's stock had once been one of the twelve component stocks of the May
1896 original Dow Jones Industrial Average. North American Company was broken up by
the Securities and Exchange Commission, following the United States Supreme Court
decision of April 1, 1946.
After that Detroit Edison operated independently, and publicly traded on the New
York Stock Exchange, under the ticker symbol DTE through the mid-1990s. In early 1996,
it became an operating subsidiary of the new holding company, DTE Energy Company,
which replaced Detroit Edison Company on the stock exchange, and took over the trading
ticker symbol.
This was a voluntary arbitration proceeding with the arbitrator, Mr. Aaron Horowitz
selected as the mutual choice of the parties from the American Arbi-tration Assn.
Mr. Donald F. Kigar served as consultant for the company and Robert Reynolds for the
union. Hearings were begun in Detroit on Deo. L4, 1953.
Issue: "Did the company violate the agreement by unilaterally transferring certain
Production Dept. Maintenance employees of this named department into newly named Construction
and Maintenance Department and merging them with employees of the last named department
in a centralized maintenance group, all of which subjected a large number of employees
to changes in wages, hours, and working conditions.
