"Labor-strike", 1946
Scope and Contents
A large volume of correspondence concerning anti-strike legislation. In the wake of World War II the largest series of strikes in United States history occurred including oil, steel, automotive, coal, electric, meatpackers, and railroad workers. Senator Maybank was not opposed to strikes in private industry but he was against any form of strikes against the United States Government. He felt if individual groups or industry could strike against the government, then members of the armed services could do so as well.
