Unions Seek Large Wage Hikes Amid Persistent Inflation
AFL CIO President George Meany says 13.6 million workers should receive substantial wage increases after four years without real pay gains. The federation cites 6.1 percent dollar loss from inflation and plans for major bargaining across five million workers in trucking, rail, auto, clothing and other sectors.
