Game teaches unions to work like contractors in Western Pa
In western Pennsylvania AFL-CIO contractors and crafts unions used a Monopoly style game to reveal profit realities and improve cooperation. The activity, part of a Job Recovery Workshop, showed union members how bidding and project dynamics affect profits and prompted concessions such as reduced benefit demands and weather related pay scaling. The program has drawn about 1,200 participants since January and has coincided with winning bids on asphalt and steel projects.

Control of pensions urged to curb underfunding crisis
A state commission urges lawmakers to grant Pennsylvania more oversight of municipal retirement funds, amid a $2.5 billion funding gap. New Castle firemen owe $6.2 million and police $5.7 million as of Jan 1 1982, with counties and cities differently affected by a new aid formula. The bill would shift $62 million in carnage insurance tax proceeds to pensions and offer up to $35 million in general funds to distressed plans, tied to sound financial reforms including benefit freezes.
