Rudolph Oswald of the Federation's Labor Research argues the $9,191 annual family of four budget misrepresents costs. He notes average factory earnings $5,900 and rising education and installment buying expenses. He urges a revised poverty level nearer $4,000 to $5,000 annually.
The AFL-CIO partners with the National Alliance of Businessmen and the Urban coalition to create up to 1,000,000 public service jobs. George Meany calls for new approaches to aid the hard core unemployed and restore faith in mainstream life. The Ukran Coalition urges Congress to fund job training and public work programs with 279 million dollars, expanding local labor industry cooperation as in Chicago’s Building Trades unions apprenticeships.
AFL-CIO testified before a Senate subcommittee urging stronger housing measures under President Johnson’s plan. Andrew Biemiller backed expanding public housing, rental aid, rent supplements, and home ownership while cautioning against high interest rates and costly displacement from urban renewal.
The Kentucky House approved an open housing bill 57 to 13, with no opposition voiced, and the Senate concurred. If Governor Louis Nunn signs it, Kentucky would become the 23rd state to ban racial discrimination in housing sales and rentals, backed by AFL-CIO support.
John W. Livingston, ex AFL-CIO organization director and former UAW vice president, becomes director of union relations for the National Alliance of Businessmen.
