Increose in Strikes Forecost

Man-days lost to strikes in the lumber and wood products manufacturing industry will probably rise 15 percent in the next 12 months, according to a report by Imberman and DeForest, a management consultant firm.

Three critical factors in the industry were said to be responsible for the strike trend: (I ) busy managements have tended to overlook non-wage issues; (2) the use of new methods and new machinery is often mistaken by employees as further steps to automation and job loss; and (3) managements' increasing reliance on the strict letter of the labor contract is alienating many employees.

Estimates indicate that there will be a total of 364,000 man-days lost in strikes in this industry from July l, 1968 to June 30, 1969, the study said.
