Mr. HOWE:

Yes, they have the right to collective bargaining; they can be certified by the board, and the provisions of the labour relations act will apply. There is no doubt about that. The idea is firmly established all through the aircraft industry among the airmen, the mechanics and all other branches. It is well understood that there are recognized unions certified as bargaining agents, and that anyone who applies to be certified can qualify. There is no question about it.
