Labor seeks guaranteed annual wages for steel workers
CIO President Philip Murray urged a guaranteed annual wage funded by employers as a domestic Point Four style program. The plan would pool six and a half to seven cents per hour per worker into a trust to provide unemployment benefits for those with at least three years’ service, including state unemployment insurance for one year. The proposal, framed as financially sound, aims to stabilize industry and broaden wage security, while the wage panel resumes hearings and a strike deadline remains February 24.
