Meany assails Nixon urging Congress to undo economic mismanagement
AFL-CIO chief George Meany accused President Nixon of misleading the public about the economy and urged Congress to reject the wage-price freeze. He called for denying tax credits, paying frozen federal wages, and backing strikes against contracts denying wage hikes. The labor federation pressed unions to resist the freeze, with some major unions pledging cooperation while others refused to end strikes.
