Auto labor pact tests Johnson wage price appeal
Johnson urges industry and labor to follow noninflationary guideposts in wage and price policies, with midyear auto talks as the key test. UAW seeks its largest gains since 1955 amid record car sales, 7.4 million produced in 1955 and rising output expected this year. The 1955 contract included cost of living gains averaging over 15 cents an hour for 3 years, with wage growth about 2.5 percent annually since. The union pushes a 35‑hour week and shorter year while prices have held for six years. The outcome will shape broader bargaining and possibly tax cut effects on wages or expansion.
