Labor Chief Optimistic In Outlook
DETROIT AP The steel wage settlement aligns with other agreements this year and should not trigger a wage spiral. Secretary of Labor James P Mitchell said there will be no steel price hikes soon as both sides work to raise productivity. He spoke at the Economic Club of Detroit and suggested the last major steel strike may have occurred, given goodwill and public interest. The new terms reduce total employment costs by half of past postwar settlements, with wage increases around 3 to 4 percent, and noted misinterpretations by news outlets confusing total costs with wages and benefits.
