...other transportation strikes this year: let both sides "voluntarily" resume work for 60 days while a three-man presidential fact-finding panel sieves the issues and submits nonbinding recommendations. Plainly this was an attempt by former Union Lawyer Goldberg to avoid taking an alternative route that he dislikes-a Taft-Hartley law injunction that would oblige the seamen to return to work for 80 days...
Management promptly accepted the Goldberg proposal. But the unions surprisingly turned it down.

As Secretary of Labor, he may have to make some difficult decisions, such as enforcing Taft-Hartley injunctions in strikes and using his police powers under the Landrum-Griffin law. But Arthur Goldberg has a profound belief in the law-and he plans to enforce...
