Ford Co Offers Overall Package in UAW Talks
DETROIT May 29 An emergency meeting between Ford Motor Co and the CIO United Auto Workers aimed to avert a strike by 140000 Ford workers. The UAW cut its laid off pay demand from 100 percent to 80 percent of gross pay for a 40 hour week, while Ford revised its separation pay language to allow pension benefits to remain intact. No side disclosed progress on the guaranteed annual wage, and a walkout could begin after midnight Wednesday if talks fail. Reuther reiterated the union’s pursuit of a year around wage in the 1955 contract, warning substantial company concessions would be required to avert a strike. The session adjourned at 430 p.m. and will resume at 1000 a.m. tomorrow.
