UAW Targets Ford then GM After Historic Chrysler Pact
UAW President Walter Reuther said Chrysler’s agreement valued at 54 cents an hour over three years would lead a drive at Ford next, then General Motors. The union seeks a similar pattern including a possible 1965 pension up to 400 a month, with full retiree hospital medical coverage and preserved wage boosts. Chrysler workers reported pickets over grievances, while relief time rose to 36 minutes daily and a wage increase term was modified to offset cost of living. Johnson praised the settlement as noninflationary, with job security and peace.
