conference proposed by the coun
try’s Shipbuilders Stabilisation
committee to break a “freeze” in
wages of several hundred thou
sand workers in private shipyards.
The, session had been arranged
when it became quite evident that
some discussion of the wage situ
ation was increasingly important
if stable labor conditions were to
be maintained in the industry.
But when the delegates met
they were unable to act because
of the absence of a quorum on the
part of management. Out of 12
representatives of management on
the committee, only three showed
up. A previous meeting in Jan
uary was siasilarly boycotted.
That action was sharply criti
cised by President John P. Frey
of the AFL Metal Trades depart
ment, who is also a principal la
bor member of the committee.
He recalled that the committee
was set up during the war to
stabilise wages in the shipyards,
and that labor co-operated fully
with it. Back in 1942, he said,
shipyard labor accepted a sub
stantially smaller wage increase
than it was entitled to because it
wished to advance “stabilisation.”
in return, he said, management
agreed to an annual review of
wages in the shipyards, but since
the end of the war those promises
have not been fulfilled. Despite
strong appeals from Government
officials, the shipbuilders shunned
the recent committee meetings
which were called to consider a
wage review.
“This action of the manage*
mcnts constitutes a repudiation of
their obligation under their con
tract with us," Mr. Frey declared.
The Metal Trades unions do not
intend to let the matter rest
there, officials indicated, but will
continue the fight for improved
standards for merf in the ship
building industry.
One of the next moves will be
the resumption of direct negotia
tions with West Coast shipbuild
'—......_______
ers on May 12 foi; a 25-cent-an
hour increase to almost 160,000
shipyard workers on that coast
These negotiations started
earlier in the year, but were re
cessed pending efforts by Federal
auhorities to end the snarl in the
Shipbuilding Stabilisation commit
tee.
