Final OK On Sunday Sealed GE Contract Ends Labor Warfare
The AFL-CIO Electrical Workers union says a three year contract with General Electric includes 28 cents an hour wage growth and 10.5 cents in cost of living boosts, with final approval expected from the conference board in New York on Sunday. The accord raises average wages to about 4.12 dollars per hour over the term, expands insurance and holidays, and allows plant level issues to be settled locally. Meany hailed it as a major bargaining milestone but warned of ongoing grievances and the right to strike if needed. Westinghouse remains a looming next target as the unions push for broader settlement while labor support remains crucial for Johnson ahead of elections.
