One of the most insidious of union practices occurs when a closely knit union group exacts tribute from employers for the privilege of operating, and from workers for the privilege of working. This ap pears to be one of the elements of the case we shall investigate in this series of hearings.
Another destructive practice occurs when unions or managements, or both, acting in collusion, set out to regulate prices or to prearrange the order and the amounts of bids which are supposed to be competi tive and secret on various types of building projects.
Such practices are extremely detrimental to the general public. They create artificial high prices, prices which must necessarily come out of the pockets of the unsuspecting consumer. This element of la bor-management improper activities will also be studied during the current hearings.
We hear a great deal about labor peace. Such peace gives stabil ity to our economy, continuity Of output, and production. Such peace, however, must be based on mutual understanding between labor and management - ou the faithful execution of contracts and the good faith settlement of union-company grievances and differences.
