Studebaker Union Maintains Record Of No Strikes
South Bend, Ind. (LPA) - A near-perfect record of never having a labor-management dispute reach the strike stage was maintained last week by Local 5, United Auto Workers, and the Studebaker Corp.
With more than 10,000 of the 16,000 production workers crowded in and around union hall. the local decided to accept an agreement whereby 43 men fired for refusing to do new work at a new rate were reinstated. The argument began when the men were put to work on a new kind of seat cover, at rates lower than they had previously been paid.
Now the union officers, with authorization to take a strike vote at any time, will meet with management, including Studebaker President Harold S. Vance, to discuss how to revise piece-work standards in the plant.
