On September 10, 1945, this company and Local
L nion No. 197 of the Utility Workers Organizing
Committee, entered into a contract which, among
other things, provided for a wage schedule for all
of these employees which by that agreement was
to remain in effect until and including March 31,
1946, and providing that the employees should give
diligent and continuous service.. . Also this contract
provided that in event that the company and the
union should have a disagreement regarding any
question or controversy arising under the contract
which could not be settled by negotiation, then both
parties were required by the contract to appoint
representatives to act on an arbitration committee;
also that contract provided that if the arbitra
tion representatives so appointed could not agree
and settle the dispute by arbitration, that they
should then appoint an umpire arbitrator; and if
they were unable to agree upon an umpire arbitra
tor or if either party refused to submit to arbi
tration, then either party could apply to the Di
rector of Conciliation for the appointment of such
umpire to determine the question at issue.
About December 1, 1945, the company volun
tarily proposed to the union that the wages of
some of the employees involved In this contract
be increased to conform to the wages paid by the
company to employees of similar classification in
other parts of Oregon.
The union refused to accept that voluntary
______ ______
offer,
The union thereupon insisted that the com
pany’s voluntary offer, as above stated, was a vio
lation of the contract on the part of the company
and that the contract was thereby nullified. The
company contends that its action did not in any
way nullify the contract.
That, basically is the
dispute between the union and the company.
The union now demands a substantial increase
in wage for all employees within the union, with
out regard to the contract, and base that demand
upon their claims that the contract is out of ex
istence.
After the union had made these demands, the
company and the union committee met on numer
ous occasions for the purpose of negotiation, but
failed to agree.
On February 14, 1946, the company addressed
a letter to the union asking that they proceed un
der the terms of the contract to arbitrate the dis
pute, and advised the union that the company had
appointed its arbitration representatives, and was
willing and ready to arbitrate in acordance with
the contract.
However, on the morning of the 15th of Feb
ruary, the union called its members out on strike.
On February 16th, the company again sent
written notice to the union that, in view of the
mutual obligation of the company and union, to
give continuous electrical service, that the union
should return to work and proceed with arbitra
tion under the contract
On February 18th, the company again notified
the union that since by the terms of the contract
several days would be required to reach final arbi
tration of the dispute, that t he company would at
the time provided by the contract apply to the
Director of Conciliation at Washington, D.
for
the appointment of an umpire in accordance with
the contract. In the same letter the company
advised the union of the names of its arbitration
committee.
The strike continues!
