Auto Makers Lay Out Proposed Three Year Union Contract
Detroit AP reports the Big Three auto makers offered what they call the best contract proposals ever to the United Auto Workers ahead of the Sept. 6 strike deadline. The three companies seek a 39 to 51 cent per hour raise over three years plus a 13 cent current hike and 2.8 percent annual increases, while asking removal of the cost-of-living escalator. They propose higher unemployment benefits but the union contends a full guaranteed annual income. Walter Reuther warns tampering with the escalator would trigger a strike.
