regarding the renewal of a contract. The court, however, was of the opinion that a contract between the employer and the union was in effect at the time and that the employer was under no duty to bargain since the union, contrary to the requirements of section 8 (d) of the amended act, had gone on strike without giving the 60 days' notice to the employer of its intention to terminate the contract. The court further held that a strike notice given by the union prior to the effective date of the amended act could not serve to satisfy the statutory requirements of section 8 (d). The production of aircraft for the Nation's defense program and the bargaining rights of the company's approximately 14,000 maintenance and production employees represented by the union, were affected by the company's alleged unfair labor practices.
