Dispute Over Unemployment Pay Revisions Faces Deadlock
In Madison the state unemployment compensation advisory committee fails to reach unanimous agreement on proposed reforms including raising the maximum benefit from 60 to 63 percent in 1974 and 66 percent in 1975. A UAW appointee seeks waiving the traditional one week waiting period triggering stalemate and potential failure of the advisory process. The plan would raise weekly benefits about ten dollars, with broader benefit increases linked to a payroll assessment on other employers. Also reported: a disorderly conduct case ends in a $120 bond forfeiture after failure to appear.
