Meany urges post-freeze inflation board to curb costs
AFL CIO president George Meany urged a voluntary labor management board modeled on wartime practice to control inflation after Nixon’s wage price rent freeze. He warned without a plan the economy could face absolute chaos and said labor might accept restraints on wages prices and profits if rules were self enforcing and penalties remained with the government if violated. He noted labor would seek profits and interest caps and wage protections for negotiated increases still held by the freeze.
