Teamsters Negotiate Near Round-The-Clock Talks For National Contract
Federal mediators push for near continuous discussions between the Teamsters Union and trucking industry in pursuit of a nationwide contract. Negotiations extended past 4:30 a.m. with another session planned for 1 p.m. Employers raised wage offers to 44 cents an hour from 37. The union seeks around 56 cents plus fringe benefits amid a 450,000 worker coverage across 12,000 firms. A national strike threat looms if talks fail while a possible counter lockout targets 1,500 large companies. Labor Secretary Wirtz and other officials press to avert rail shopcraft and railroad strikes next week.

Proxmire warns tax hikes could hinder business expansion as rates fall, while the Treasury praises the easing to boost the economy.
