The grievance procedure became the principle vehicle for maintaining job equity for the Negro. The types of grievances that the Negroes filed usually fell into 3 categories: (a) discriminatory practices in job advancement; (b) improper assignment of work; & (c) inequitable wage rates. Although the record of the union in fighting for justice for the Negro under the contract is considered to be above x, in the broader area, the complaints of the Negro have been numerous & bitter. To help the Negro secure the rights to which he is entitled, the United Steelworkers established a Civil Rights Committee about 10 yrs ago. Eventually, these principles were embodied in the FEPA & in the Commission on HR. Yet there are relatively few charges filed, despite the fact that discrimination is rampant, because: (A) many Negroes do not know the law exists; (B) long yrs of non-employment in many industries discourage Negroes from applying for jobs; & (C) Negroes, as a rule, do not like to undergo internal Co pressures.
