Pay Board weighs tougher rules on wage agreements
The Pay Board debates stricter controls on wage deals with more than 5.9 percent annual raises. Current rules require filing for 1,000 to 5,000 workers and advance approval for 5,000 plus, while smaller agreements are spot checked by IRS. Aiming to curb high boosts, three staff proposals range from advance approval to mandatory reporting or strict justification. U S Steel also wins a 3.6 percent price rise for all mill products.
