Labor And Veterans Push For On the Job Pay Rise
Labor and veterans groups urged passage of a new bill offering veterans in on the job training $175 to $200 monthly as additional pay. Leaders from American Veterans of World War II and World War I pressed Congress to back the plan, arguing the current aid is insufficient. CIO officials backed the veterans and other groups seeking higher wages, noting the bill would fix an inequitable system where some receive college stipends while others earn meager training pay. The current program provides about $100 to $140 monthly, with subsistence payments up to $68 to $90 more for single or married veterans, and the amendment would adjust benefits against salaries.
