Frigidaire faces wage cuts as layoffs hit Dayton plant
In Dayton Ohio Frigidaire division of General Motors faces financial trouble with 500 more layoffs this week. Wages may be rolled back or a three percent raise from 1970 could be forgone. The plant employs about 11 000 workers, down from 15 000 last year. Union leaders say any cutback must be by mutual agreement. GM says technology will offset higher labor costs and denies plans to move or sell Frigidaire.
