Wage Stabilization Board approves steelpay plan
Washington March 21 elated CIO steelworkers accepted a government pay boost proposal and cancelled a weekend strike threat. A new walkout danger looms April 8 if the industry rejects the recommendations. The plan calls for a three installment pay boost totaling 17 percent with other concessions including union shop and benefits. The board says the package adds roughly 10 percent to basic earnings, while the union seeks about 18 percent plus extras totaling around 35 cents an hour.
