Detailed accounts of meetings between the Chicago Newspaper Publishers Association (CNPA) and the Chicago Typographical Union #16 (CTU), 1947-07-30 - 1947-11-14

 File — Box: 2, Folder: 1

Scope and Contents

These meetings were marked by the union's consistent refusal to agree to a contract conforming to the new Taft-Hartley law and the publishers' refusal to agree to the "Conditions of Employment" (copy included) which the union threatened to post on Oct. 21 and Form P-6A, which the union then offered in place of a contract. The publishers charged that there was a deliberate slowdown; the union denied it. The main issues were the closed shop, union jurisdiction, and the handling of struck work. The final meetings, November 10-14, were attended by Woodruff Randolph, president of the ITU, who made a belligerent speech on the breakdown of negotiations. Also a detailed summary of pre-strike negotiations prepared in December.
