Abstract :
After careful inquiry into present membership practices of unions and prevailing Government attitudes and policy, an AIEE committee has prepared this comprehensive report considering all the implications of the engineer´s bargaining position in industry. The report recommends preparation of a factual manual on the American labor movement and establishment of a continuing committee on collective bargaining. Sponsorship of any collective-bargaining agency by the Institute or any of its Sections is disapproved, though the possibility of the AIEE´s occasional intervention in disputes as a friend of the court in behalf of its members is recognized.
