Warns Against Wage Decreases Amid Recovery Doubts
The American Federation of Labor notes 800,000 workers back at jobs since March but warns this does not prove a recovery. Through April and May about 629,000 returned to work while 12,730,000 remained unemployed at the start of May. June figures for jobless unionists shrink slightly, but exact totals aren’t given. The federation pins hopes on the national recovery act as crucial for buying power.
