Citizens Support Right-to-Work Measures in Iowa
A citizens committee forms to back Section 14(b) of the Taft Hartley Act and Iowa right to work. Richard Piltmer of Morningside College chairs the group to educate Iowans on maintaining the state law and union freedom. A Democratic drive seeks 100000 signatures opposing a U.S. Senate filibuster. The Iowa Manpower Development Council launches a $100000 on the job training program across 20 counties for 200 Iowans, funded by federal funds and a one year contract with the Labor Secretary. Three field men will match unemployed workers to skill jobs via eight to 26 week training periods in Monona, Crawford, Linn, Harrison, Shelby, Polk, Johnson, Muscatine, Scott, Poweshiek, Marion, Nebraska, Keokuk, Tama, Jones, Woodbury, Wayne, Appanoose, Davis and Van Buren. The State Board of Social Welfare approves extending Medicare like coverage to Iowa old age recipients starting July 1, 1966, with the state paying $3 monthly for voluntary insurance, including physician services, 100 home health visits, and other medical benefits. About 42% of old age recipients also receive Social Security and will be urged to enroll.
