HTU Urges Defeat of 'Anti-Labor' Proposals

The Harvard Teachers Union (AFL) voted unanimous support last week to the campaign to defeat "anti-labor" referenda 5, 6, and 7 on the Massachusetts ballot. The proposed bills would ban the union shop, require a majority union vote before striking, and call for annual election of union officers.

The union's resolution commented. "These bills would outlaw union security while injecting unwarrnied government interference into the internal afairs of labor unions."
