Stimulate Rather Than Legislate On 36-Hour Week Hearings
House Labor subcommittee chaired by Rep. Elmer Holland will begin hearings June 11 on the AFL-CIO proposed 36 hour work week and related issues including overtime pay. Government witnesses and outside experts will testify, with management witnesses delayed until August. The O Hara bill to raise overtime rules under the Fair Labor Standards Act draws unions’ interest amid concerns over higher costs and prices for consumers. The hearings could shape legislation ahead of the 1964 election year, while critics urge economy based unemployment relief rather than new mandates.
