Meany Attacks Carter Democrats On Welfare And Wages
AFL CIO President George Meany criticized President Carter and congressional Democrats, saying they offer only schemes to tighten the screws on the poor. He cited failed union picketing rights bills and food stamp and minimum wage proposals, arguing the platform promises were not fulfilled. He warned the plan to raise the minimum wage to 2.50 per hour falls behind inflation, while the federation seeks 3.00 and opposes cutting food stamps for many recipients.
