International Harvester’s Agreement with UAW-=CIO Does Not Waive Our Right to Sue
On August 13, 1947 at Chicago, the United Auto Workers (CIO) and our Company signed an agreement which we believe is a fair and practical settlement of the much-debatéd question of union financial liability under the new Taft-Hartley Law. ~ We think our agreement is fair and practical because: %. The International Harvester agreement does not exempt the. union from all suits for money damages arising out of wildcat strikes. 2. But the agreement holds the union responsible and liable only for matters which are within its reasonable control. Ever since the passage of the new law there has been controversy over the section which gives employers the right to sue unions or unions the right to sue employers if either party violates the contract between them. A number of unions have insisted that employers waive all rights to sue for damages arising out of contract violations. International Harvester’s attitude from the first has been this: : .
%. We do not expect to conduct our employe
relations by lawsuits.
2. We do sok ask any union to take vesponsls bility for things it cannot control. We know there hve been cases where a union could not prevent the outbreak of a wildcat strike. A wildcat strike violates the contract because it takes place before the contract procedure for the orderly settlement of disputes has been fully carried out. 3. We believe a union should take responsibility for the things it can control. One of the things a union certainly can control is whether it makes prompt and sincere efforts to get em- - ployes back to work if a wildcat strike takes place. 4. Therefore, we asked ‘the UAW-CIO to agree in writing in its contracts with us that, if a wildcat strike should take place, the union would make prompt efforts in good faith, to " get employes back to work. vw + 5 We said that if the union made such efforts in good faith, it would not be open to , uit. If it failed or refused to make such efforts
in good faith, it would be open to suit. Working from these principles, an agreement was reached between the UAW-CIO and the Company, cqvering our plants at Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, Springfield, Ohio; Evansville, Indiana; and Melrose Park, Illinois. That agreement is as follows:
Section 1. The Company and the Union
agree that the grievance procedures provided herein are adequate to provide a fair and final determination of all grievances arising under the terms of this contract. It is the desire of the Union and the Company to avoid strikes and work stoppages.
Section 2. If, as a result of the failure of an employe to exhaust all grievance procedures available under the contract, a work stoppage, intentional slow down of production, or strike occurs and such employe is disciplined, which may include discharge, the disciplinary action (including the alleged guilt) taken by the Company shall be subject to the grievance procedure up to, and including arbitration. However, no disciplinary action shall be taken against any employe subsequent to one week from the
time the action complained of occurred. The . .
term “inten slow down of production” shall mean a condition of willful restriction or reduction of production by any employe which is within such employe’s reasonable control.
Section 3. 3. During any period in which employes ar are engaged in any work stoppage, strike, or intentional slow down of . production before all available settlement procedures provided in the contract have been exhausted, the Company will not be required to bargain with representatives of

proper signed 1 notification by the Company to the Union, post the following notice
throughout the entire Works affected theres by, on the bulletin boards referred to in the
Local Union Contract:
“To All Members of Local ...... Datedt.scssccesesncessese You are advised that Sertain a ac tion took place today in Department....... or Line........ This "action was unauthorized by both the Local and International Union. You are directed to promptly. re= turn to your respective jobs and to cease any action which may affect production. The grievance(s) in dispute will be processed thrpugh the, regular grievance procedures provided for in your contract.”
It is agreed that an authorized officer of the local union and/or an authorized officer of the International Union shall sign the notice above referred to. : (B.) Upon notification given the Union by the Company that the action referred to in the preceding sub-section has not brought
about a termination of such work stoppage,
strike or inten slow down of produc. tion the Union will take such further steps as it, in its discretion considers reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances to bring about compliance with the notice referred to in sub-section A above. Section 5. The Company agrees that in consideration of the performance by 'the Union of the undertakings herein assumed by it in Section 4 hereof with respect to the termination of unauthorized strikes and work stoppages, there shall be no liability by suit. for damages on the part of the Union, its officers, agents or members, for
breach of contract of any kind or character
whatsoever; the sole recourse and exclusive remedy of the Company in the event of such
