State Commission Seeks Pay Increase Formula
The Michigan state civil service commission seeks a formula to raise wages for lower paid workers without breaking the uniform compensation plan or the budget. They plan an informal meeting to study cost diagrams and will meet next Tuesday to adopt a final pay scale for more than 16 000 workers. Two options are discussed: automatic semiannual raises promised in 1937 and 1938, or a new minimum of 100 a month versus 75 now and 80 proposed, with the core issue being payroll costs. Some members, including former governor Alex Groesbeck, faced pressure not to demand a 125 monthly minimum.
