Part III: The Deeper Issues
9. ON WINNING STRIKES AND BREAKING UNIONS
THE BOARD’S DECISION is so weak that one suspects an unrevealed motivation. Naturally it is difficult to pin down such a motivation with certainty. But the decision is shot through with remarks which suggest that the Board was influenced by a philosophy of labor relations which has long since worn thin. This theory holds that an employer is guilty of trying to break a union each time that he firmly resists the union’s demands.

Dear Sir:

UAW-CIO, Local #833

Sheboygan, Wisconsin
Attention: Mr. Allan J. Graskamp, President
Gentlemen:
This is in reply to your letter of August 10, 1954, containing what you term a modification of your demands.
These are virtually the same demands which you made orally before negotiations were discontinued on June 29th and vary in terminology rather than in substance from your demands prior to the strike.
