9-6-15 Packinghouse Workers Master Contract in 2:00


http://laborhistoryin2.podbean.com/e/september-6-packinghouse-workers-master-contract/




September 6, 2015
On this day in Labor History the year was 1941. The Packinghouse Workers Organizing Committee, part of the CIO, and Armour & Company signed a master contract. This was the first such contract in the meatpacking industry. Within two years, three other major meatpackers also signed agreements with the union.

2:00 minute audio link.

The Rick Smith radio show has some fans trying to get his show on Sirius/XM.

I post his labor history in 2:00 on the DU every day with a great response.

Please help make this happen.
