The negotiations between the American Steel Company and the CIO quickly became public!
Furthermore, the contents of the negotiations were also disclosed.
The American Steel Company was inclined to sign an agreement with the CIO, acknowledging the legitimacy of the Steel Workers Organizing Committee.
This news broke out, sparking intense discussions across the United States.
But the first reaction from everyone was disbelief.
Not just the ordinary people watching the situation, even those involved but not participating in the actual negotiations didn't believe it!
A union organizer said on the phone to Philip Murray of the Steel Workers Organizing Committee: "Just now a steelworker came in, saying he heard on the radio that the American Steel Company was having a meeting with the CIO, I told him: You're nuts. And then kicked him out of the office."
