Samson and Lyndon Wage War on Inflation in Detroit
In Detroit unions push eye catching wage demands for bricklayers and steel workers as the War on Poverty and inflation collide with labor talks. The piece contrasts Lyndon Johnson's federal stance with local union negotiations, arguing for stronger measures against rising prices. It notes bricklayers may demand 7.22 dollars per hour and other trades set higher rates, while labor contracts exceed government guidelines and threaten escalating costs. Johnson’s approach is depicted as weaker than Samson’s jawbone metaphor in combating inflation.
