...Plymouth, separated by a fifteen foot alley, have to be brought to the door by one set of stagemen and put into trucks by special loaders; a second group of loaders then takes the scenery out of the trucks, and gives it to a second set of stagemen. Also, non-union orchestra men or conductors may be used only if an equal number of union men are paid to stay away. Needless to say, prohibitively high wages are paid...

He could not abide the taunts of U.A.W.'s keg-headed Richard Frankensteen, who continually brings up the story that back in the bad old non-union days, Chrysler planted a spying boarder in the Frankensteen home.

He knew that the packing industry's labor policies are far from being as perishable as its products. Packinghouse workers have a non-union tradition. Since a big strike was crushed in 1886 in Chicago, only two major labor disturbances - one in 1904, one in 1921-have troubled the stockyards. Each was finally throttled. Workers are low-paid. Their wages rank 13th among the 15 major industries. But nearly all larger packers have some...
