GM UAW Pact Introduces Buying Power Link To Efficiency
Charles E. Wilson at General Motors offers 11 cents an hour wage boost to UAW and adds automatic annual raises tied to cost of living and productivity. The deal includes a three cent raise next year and an inflation counter to protect living standards while linking pay to efficiency gains. Other firms may follow with cost-of-living adjustments. The pact signals a shift in postwar labor economics and may impact inflation and strike dynamics nationwide.
