Steel workers union sees possible interim wage deal to avert strike
The United Steelworkers face a May 1 strike deadline as a proposal aligned with President Johnsons 3.2 percent wage guideline would grant about a four cent hourly rise and a three cent cost of living increase. The 170 member wage policy committee meets Thursday to decide on extending talks or giving negotiators authority to strike. William Simkin of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service says the chance of an extension is excellent.
