Kirkland, president of the AFL-CIO, told delegates at Philadelphia that Reagan administration budget cuts favor the wealthy over middle and lower income workers. He proposed alternatives including a 1 percent drop in unemployment to trim the deficit and a 20 percent tax credit on Social Security payments to aid low and middle earners. Delegates attending the three day conference represent the federation’s 15 million members.
