Meany Pledges Fight on Minimum Wage Increase
AFL CIO President George Meany blasted President Johnson for backing a wage rise he calls too small and late and pledged to lead a fight in Congress to improve it. He hinted the minimum wage bill could shape labor support in the fall elections and said the White House plan to raise to 1.40 in September and 1.60 by 1969 might be insufficient. Meany noted a possible split in administration ties but claimed it won’t derail labor’s political effort.
