"Respondent Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc., a Florida corporation, operates through subsidiaries or divisions some 600 retail food supermarkets in the southeastern part of the United States." And so we have the whole sorry story, Mr. Speaker. It is a story of harsh, unprincipled, abusive breaking of the Taft-Hartley Act by a company whose president now serves as a cochairman of the "National Committee To Keep the Taft-Hartley Act Intact and Protect Fundamental American Rights." It is a sad day indeed, Mr. Speaker, when a company which has broken a national law, and unlawfully abused its employees, piously preaches about preserving a law it has so flagrantly violated, and about protecting the rights and interests of the American workingman. This sorry incident may well serve as a warning to the Members of this House that not all those who proclaim their devotion to the rights of the individual workingman, and to his right to work, deserve either the respect or attention of the Nation. The 620 poorest counties are almost entirely in RTW states. Os COUNT U.S. Census: 1960, PC (1) D. U.S. volume, Table 225, State volume, Table 140. "Poor" is defined as less than $3,000 in money income in 1959. More children suffer from poverty in the hard-core RTW region. |
