Steel wage talks wary of inflation risk says economist
A steel industry economist warned that a substantial wage increase could trigger an inflation gallop. Dr. Jules Backman testified that wage hikes amid boom and expanded arms production would raise consumer purchasing power without increased civilian goods, risking higher costs and budget strain. He noted productivity gains were overstated by the union and that actual wage and output growth since 1939 lagged. The panel seeks a compromise as 600,900 workers face a possible Feb 23 strike.
