Such a Check-Off
Would Fix Them
CHICAGO - Free riders would have a check-off of their own if FEDERATION NEWS, publication of Chicago Federation of Labor, had its way and they would sign a card with this authorization to their employers:
"I refuse to accept any benefits won by the unions and hereby authorize and direct the company to withhold the amount of union-won benefits from my pay check each week and donate it to charity."
The News says benefits would include Social Security, unemployment insurance and workmen's compensation, also wage increases, paid vacations and holidays, seniority rights and job security.
