Welfare and Strikes at Westinghouse Lester Plant
A 151 day strike by 1132 members of Local 107 UE union against Westinghouse Electric in Lester Pa from Aug 28 1970 to Jan 25 1971 relied on $2.5 million in public welfare funds rather than strike benefits. Wharton study estimates welfare aid to strikers could exceed $365 million annually by 1973 and notes unions see this as a powerful weapon with broad consequences.

Massachusetts no fault refunds boost national insurance debate
Massachusetts will issue an estimated 30 to 40 million dollars in auto insurance refunds as Supreme Court upholds 27 percent rate reductions for 1972. The ruling showcases no fault benefits with lower premiums and rapid compensation, while fault based systems face lengthy court battles and high legal costs. If adopted broadly, 110 million vehicles, 16 million accidents, 55,000 deaths, and billions in losses could shift toward immediate personal damage coverage through own insurers, with limited rights to sue above set thresholds.
