GM Slashes Prices And Wages As Cost Index Drops
General Motors cuts prices from six to ten dollars on passenger models as wage reductions of two cents an hour apply to 272000 production workers and ten dollar quarterly living allowances are trimmed for salaried staff. The move saves about 9 to 10 million dollars, passed to consumers, with further GM price cuts and divisions planned. The action follows a government cost of living index decline, raising expectations of overall price decreases and signaling the end of wartime controls.
