LORDSTOWN, Ohio — Some 2,400 members of the United Automobile Workers
Local 1714 went on strike August 27 against the General Motors
Corporation metal fabrications plant here.
UAW members put up picket lines over job security, outsourcing, and
health and safety issues. This is the first strike by the union local
since 1975. Workers on the picket line were upbeat. The Lordstown plant
makes key components needed at other GM operations.
An August 28 Wall Street Journal article characterized the strike as
“the first blow in what’s expected to be a bruising battle over job
security between the auto maker and the United Auto Workers union.”

The Soviet bureaucrats have sentenced another writer to jail, thus
violating their own dictum that the 50th year of the Russian Revolution
should present an unruffled exterior to the outside world.
They have [sentenced] a young writer, 25-year-old Vladimir Bukovsky, to
three years in jail.
The intensifying conflict between intellectuals and apparatchiks
reflects in an unclear and distorted way the aspirations of the Soviet
working masses for proletarian democracy, an end to privileges for
bureaucrats, an end to arbitrary treatment for workers. It is an augury
of much deeper, more significant social conflicts to come.

The Negro March-on-Washington movement will hold a national conference
in Detroit on Sept. 26-27 to decide if and when a march to the nation’s
capital will be held.
A. Philip Randolph, national director of the movement, announced that
President Roosevelt had refused to meet with Randolph and a number of
other prominent Negro leaders to discuss racial discrimination and
attacks on Negro rights.
While Roosevelt is very well aware of present conditions and the Negro
people’s protests against continued discrimination and growing Jim Crow
terrorism, his autocratic refusal to meet with Randolph indicates that
he has no intention of doing anything about them.
