Nixon to Target Unions Over Inflation Claims
President Nixon will accuse several labor unions of aggravating inflation by negotiating large wage increases. The move comes as the administration readies a new inflation alert and Nixon plans speeches in New York and to the National Association of Manufacturers. The plan reportedly targets the Teamsters and certain building trades unions, while the United Auto Workers contract with General Motors may be noted as less blameworthy. The cost of living rose 0.6 percent last month, the largest jump since April. The October index was 5.9 percent higher than a year earlier.
