attitude Of taking all it can
without regard to the welfare
of businesses involved or Of the
general economy.
Equities Of Ownership
Oblivion is the eventual fate
of unions, Mcdonald said, which
forget the equities of ownership
and management, or that Marx
died a long time ago.
Unions, he said, should par
ticipate in management with
respect to the rights Of stock
holders. management and labor.
He particularly pointed out the
relationships Of multiple own
erships, hired managements and
labor as compared with odd
fashioned personal ownerships.
He described the economy as
q mutual trusteeship Of the three
groups in which "all are obliged
to give full consideration to
everybody involved" !"
eud with Reuther
Mcdonald has been at odds
with Walter Reuther, head Of
the CIO. and observers were
quick to wonder whether his
speech was a forerunner Of an
attempt to take the steelWorkers
out Of the CIO and divide the
American labor movement into
still a fourth major part. This
would make the steelworkers,
like the mineWorkers, a one
industry union and leave them
free to work out their own re-
lationship with management
under Whatever concept they
wish.
There have been few notable
examples Of actual union par
ticipation in management in the
United States. Some unions have
gone over the books and taken
pay cuts in order to insure con-
tinued operation Of their busi-
nesses. Others have even loaned
money to their bosses for the
same purpose. Many have forced
changes ia policies affecting
labor. This is form Of par
ticipation in management but
far from what Mcdonald was
talking about.
British Unions Said No
Ia Britain in 1948, when a
Socialist government had ma
tionalized certain industries and
services, organized labor, though
& part Of the administering
political party, refused to accept
the governments suggestion
that e should actually partici-
pate IN management. They held
