Roosevelt court bill Overshadows wage and hour debate
King reports say the Roosevelt court bill clouded prospects for passage of the wage and hour bill with talks of a quick test vote and pressure to win Roosevelt’s support. Administrations economists predict the labor standards board would limit its role to setting a framework while allowing collective bargaining to raise wages for bottom brackets and reduce long hours. Payrolls rise faster than production, reflecting recent agreed wage increases, with some economists arguing the board could curb sub standard wages without triggering price rises.
