Rubber Wage Boost Approved for Rubber Firms
The Wage Stabilization Board granted an 18-cent-an-hour raise for 100,000 workers in four major rubber companies linked to steel and auto industries. The move, supported by unions, clarifies government stance on wages and prices and may influence coal industry deals under related-industry rules. Office, guards, and some Firestone Goodyear B F Goodrich U S Rubber staff were excluded, with potential future approval.
