James Sprouse of the Associated General Contractors rejected John Dunlop's prediction of spite strikes and violence in 1976 as construction firms prepare to negotiate about 3,500 contracts with unions. He forecast a moderately rough bargaining year with wage increases near 8 to 9 percent, not exceeding 1975 levels, while noting no spike in unrest is anticipated. Ford was named Man of the Year after vetoing the common situs picketing bill.
