...years in Sing Sing), arrested at various times for burglary, assault, gun-toting and bookmaking. A fortnight ago, despite court injunctions and its contract, the I.L.A. shut down the whole port-without a strike vote or any formal demands. Union leaflets demanded that the Waterfront Commission show a "humane approach towards men with police records." State governments of New York and New Jersey stood pat behind the commission. Last week, after eight days on strike, the I.L.A. settled for a face-saving formula: a citizens' committee to hear union complaints against the commission...
Scanlon's way is actually less a formal plan than an approach, with three constant ingredients. First, the union and management in the plant fix a productivity "norm," and the working force is promised a bonus out of the savings the workers can effect by producing at a lower cost per unit. Unlike many other incentive plans, the Scanlon Plan is noncompetitive, does not throw the plant wage structure out of balance, and unites the men on a common goal instead of pitting them against each other.

During the past year, nerves on both sides have tautened further as the two countries added to their military power. Last week, just before the latest Ecuadorian cry of alarm, Peru announced that...
...contrast to this negative approach, more and more corporations are changing the editorial content of their magazines in an effort to keep, the employees up to date on all aspects of the company. For example, some 30 monthly tabloids published by the Ford Company for its U.S. plants give detailed reports on union negotiations. On-the-job grievances, once the exclusive domain of the labor press, are now thoroughly aired by companies such as Milwaukee's Line Material Co.,. which devotes an inside cover each issue to employees' complaints and answers. General Electric runs columns of answers...
