...Press, the Gary Post-Tribune. The Sun life-insurance policy pays only $500 per employee-not enough to cover burial expenses. The papers' nine-year-old pension plan works out to less than $25 a month, and there is no company medical plan. Nor is there a dues checkoff or any form of union security...
...News felt so good about everything was not easy to discern. After a show of stubbornness, it yielded to the striking New York Newspaper Guild on nearly every contested point, including dues checkoff (automatic payroll deduction of Guild dues). Even the wage settlement in the new two-year contract-ranging from $3.50 a week more for copy boys to $10.50 for reporters-was far nearer the Guild's original demand than management's first offer. The News also suffered another embarrassment. The New York Times, not directly involved in the strike, was actively involved in ending...
...fact, although the Publishers Association of New York was publicly pledging solidarity, privately its leaders were putting pressure on the News to come to terms. Among Guild demands that the News has stubbornly refused to meet is one that the other six New York papers have long accepted: dues checkoff, or automatic payroll deduction of Guild membership dues.

In the heady early years of the occupation, General MacArthur was somehow persuaded to let SCAP's Labor Division fasten onto Japan a set of labor-relations laws that gave Japanese unions a readymade war chest by imposing the dues "checkoff," and saddled the country with minimum standards for working hours, accident compensation, etc. matching those of the U.S. Desperately short of trained leaders, the unions all too often turned to Socialist and Communist agitators, who set about converting the labor movement into an anti-American political tool...
...source of its funds is compulsory "donations." Sugar workers, by means of a 4% salary deduction, last week turned over a check for $30 million. The bank workers' checkoff has so far yielded $20 million. The revolution's faithful can toss their spare change into big INRA barrels at Havana airport. And if money runs short, INRA has decree power to "rent safety deposit boxes, borrow money with or without interest, open and close current accounts of any kind with any bank or banks, in any type of money." In 1960 INRA plans to spend $160 million...
