WAGNER ACT CAN AVERT STRIKES
AND SAVE MILLIONS
As if to emphasize the dollars-and-cents value
which the Supreme Court’s Wagner act decisions can
have for this country, a statistically-minded reported
has just tabulated the net cost of the year’s big automo
bile strikes in Michigan.
Altogether, this reporter figured, the four major
auto strikes had a total cost of $477,000,000.
Autos ^vorth some $267,000,000 were scheduled to
be produced but were not produced because of the
strikes. Wages in the sum of $45,000,000 were schedul
ed to be paid but were not paid. Industries supplying
wheels, galss, instrument boards, and other equipment
to the auto maker lost business worth slightly less than
$137,000,000.
But that does not tell the entire story. The strikes;
cost the state of Michigan $1,629,000 in added relief
costs, national guard maintenance, and lost sales tax
es. Michigan merchants and storekeepers lost something
like $18,800,000 in sales during the strike period. The
federal government lost $4,200,000 in excise taxes.
Altogether this tabulation tells us what we already
knew—that strikes were fearfully expensive all the
way down the line.
What makes it interesting is its relation to the
Wagner act decisions.
The Wagner acts does not compel any employer to
sign a union contract. It does not force him to accept
any terms that the union may place before him. All it
does is legalize the workers’ right to form unions with
out interference and to bargain with their employers
once the unions are formed. In cases of doubt, it sets
up machinery to determine whether a majority of men
in a given plant want a union to bargain for them.
Measured against the demands of sme cnfidenl
labr leaders, that is not much. Measured against the
backgound of the auto stikes, it is a geat deal. More
important, it is the sort of thing that can avert the ter
rific expense of a wave of srikes such as the ones the
auto industry has just had.
For these auto strikes were primarily organization
al. Demands were made in respect to wages, hours,
seniority, and so on, and in some cases concessions
were made along thee lines; but what really stirred the
strikers was a desire that their right to organize and to
bargain collectively be formally ecognized. The auto
industry was the citadel of the no-union tradition; the
workers set out to crack it.
It is precisely that sort of thing from which the
Wagner act should save us. Half-billion dollar strikes
to legitimize union organizations ought never to ap
pear again.—Exchange.
