Leisure sharing plan aims to cut unemployment in California
Senate leader James R. Mills proposes voluntary unpaid leaves of absence for workers to reduce joblessness. He estimates five to six percent income cuts for three months every three years could generate up to 1.6 million full time jobs nationwide if the 70 million U S workers take an extra week off annually. He cites Santa Clara County experiments and broader economic constraints as justification for the approach. Fraser, new UAW president, calls for unity with AFL CIO while resisting government overreach in auto industry policy. A special convention is planned for September to decide on reaffirmation or independence from AFL CIO.
