As a result of this strike action by 7 of the employees, operations have been forced to shut down. Strikes are mighty serious affairs, because they hurt all of us; therefore, you are entitled to know the facts about the strike and the situation which was responsible for it. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engine-men Engine-men represents 311 mine employees of the mine haulage system. Negotiations have been in process between the Brotherhood and the company since early in August. Kennecott Kenne-cott offered these employees a wage increase of 96c per day. 96 y Average 1948 daily wag Daily wag Increase ae This is tfc daily wag twos accepted by am- cptd by Knncatt am- increase dmandd by play of more than 100 ploys, except those h B t t E for its 311 Utah companies. mine baulag. members. The company also agreed to make this increase effective as of July 1, 1948. This is the identical wage increase that was accepted by all Utah Copper Division's 4200 other employees. The Brotherhood rejected this offer, and demanded an increase in-crease of $2.71 per day. In other words, members of the Brotherhood have demanded an increase of $1.75 per day more than the daily increase accepted by their fellow workers. The Brotherhood and the company having been unable to reach an agreement on the amount of a wage increase, the Brotherhood set a strike for Friday. October 15th. The U. S. Conciliation Service then requested both parties to meet with a panel of one Utah and three Federal Conciliators in an attempt at-tempt to reach a settlement. This proposal was accepted and the Brotherhood deferred its strike. Conferences with this conciliation con-ciliation panel started last Monday and were carried on dailv until Friday when negotiations again became deadlocked. At this time, the company made an additional offer to these mine haulage employees, volunteering to add off-the-job accident and sickness insurance to its groun life insurance program. After brief consideration the Brotherhood also rejected re-jected this offer. The Conciliators finally suggested further conferences to be held in Washington, D. C. The company seated it was agreeable, but the Brotherhood rejected the Conciliators' suggestion. sug-gestion. The Brotherhood then set a new strike date for yesterday, October 24th. As of today, over 4500 Kennecott employees are out of work. They are losing income in wages at the rate of $1,375,000 per month. There will also be a reduction in money spent in Utah of aoproximately $2,300,000 per month for normal expenditures for supplies, freight, taxes, etc. The detrimental effects of this shutdown will reach out in many directions throughout the state. We have sincerely tried to avoid a work stoppage. We regret the Brotherhood has called the strike. To submit to the Brotherhood's demand would discriminate against all other Kennecott employees. It would start a fouVth round wage increase which would launch a new inflationary spiral. Sincerely, D. D. MOFFAT, Vice President.
