CIO Rejects Ford Wage Offer in 125% Increase Dispute
The CIO United Auto Workers rejected Ford Motor Companys wage proposal of a 15 cent per hour increase plus a 125 percent boost in the base rate blending with a security demand carrying fines up to 5000 for illegitimate strikes. Ford said the plan would take effect when production hits 80,000 units monthly and would cost the company 23 million dollars, with government price ceilings cited as a barrier to raising wages. General Motors wage talks and associated strikes across plants continued, while fact-finding hearings with a Truman board began to examine wage and price issues amid plant Idling and nationwide labor unrest.
