United Steel Workers Regional Meetings and Upcoming Elections

 

United Steel Workers Regional Meetings and Upcoming ElectionsUSW Opens Regional Meetings in New York.

Pittsburgh (UP) -- United Steelworkers President David J. McDONALD journeys to New York City today to prepare for the opening session of a union experiment in regional top-to-bottom conferences.

McDONALD and other top leaders of the USW will meet with representatives of the union's New York state and New England districts Thursday and Friday at the Roosevelt Hotel.  The talks will mark the first formal conference between international leaders and district officials on a regional level in the 20 year history of the 1,200,000-member union.

Five similar regional meetings are planned to permit top leaders from Pittsburgh international headquarters to discuss with workers in the field the USW's three-year contract negotiated last summer.  The conferences will also map the union's future action.

McDONALD, who is being challenged for the $50,000-a-year presidency in the union's February elections, may also use the sessions to organize the "regulars" against a rebel faction headed by McKeesport, Pa., millhand Don C. RARICK.

The regional conferences were scheduled shortly after a rank-and-file group protesting an increase in dues from $3 to $5 a month announced it would run candidates against McDONALD and other international officers.
