On July 17 of last year the Penney, Newberry, Woolworth and
Kress companies jointly negotiated and jointly signed a contract with
Retail Clerks union local 905, San Pedro, for the operation of their nine
stores in Torrance, San Pedro and Wilmington.
The companies voluntarily discussed wage adjustments in Febru
ary, 1947, and offered a 10 per cent increase to the employees oflhe
stores. If at any time the union had accepted the 4-company offer, all
employees would have received the increase immediately, retroactive
to February 3. The union rejected the offer.
By calling a strike Wednesday afternoon, July 3, the union closed
the stores.
The companies stand willing to negotiate at any time.
