Serious Strikes Hamper Economy Labor Nixon Have Bad Year
In 1971 organized labor faced a worsening relation with the Nixon administration, marked by major strikes in railroads, soft coal, shipping and telephones while wining and dining with Meany at AFL-CIO events. The Pay Board granted a 15 percent rise in coal despite 5.5 percent guideposts, back pay gains were approved within limits, and 4.8 million workers faced expiring contracts across metals, transportation equipment, railroads, communications, construction, and mining. Unemployment hovered around 6 percent with 5.5 million jobless in November amid import protection debates and calls for quotas and tax adjustments for overseas production.
