Abstract

MEDICINE MEETS WITH LABOR Our human needs and values go beyond the aims of trade unionism. We are interested in the same things you are—extension of life. It is the job of the union to promote health consciousness. This is as important, if not more important, than higher wages and better working conditions. With the above comment David Gingold, vice-president of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union, welcomed more than 100 physicians and union representatives, Aug. 26, at Unity House, an ultramodern resort which the ILGWU operates at Forest Park, Pa. It was the ILGWU which, in 1913, established the first union health center in the United States. Among those invited by the union to the two-day conference on "The Third Party and Organized Medicine" were physicians and laymen from the labor organization's far flung medical centers and selected leaders from every level of organized medicine.
