Striking Chrysler Workers Scale Wage Demands
Chrysler workers cut their wage increase demand to 17 cents amid new negotiations to end a 15 day strike affecting 75,000 employees. The UAW had first sought 30 cents, trimmed to 17, then pushed back to 30 after Chrysler rejected a six cent concession. Negotiations in Detroit were opened at the request of Governor Ligier following a joint agreement between General Motors and the union on 21 cents an hour.
