USW Demands Higher Fringe Pay In Steel Talks
USW seeks a near one dollar hourly rise over three years for steelworkers, including 65 cents wages plus raises for pensions and job security. Proposals feature 12.5–28 cent raises, 10 percent for non surveyed workers, shorter 32 hour weeks, double time overtime, pension boosts to 5.50 per year of service, and extended unemployment benefits. Negotiations with four steelmakers aim to bridge gaps before a possible 1960 strike.
