State Men Demand 20 Percent Pay Hike
In Harrisburg on July 23 the AFL Pennsylvania Council of Public Employees urged a flat 20 percent salary increase for all 41,000 Commonwealth employees. They rejected Governor Martin’s merit system, calling it inadequate to meet living costs, while pledging no strike and seeking peaceful negotiations. The governor reportedly reviewed a plan balancing merit with cost of living, which differs from the rejected merit plan. Reuben H. Miller said merit raises for lower wages could reach about $60 annually, but this would not fully offset the cost of living surge.
