Fifth Round Coming Up in Wage Stabilization Plan
The rising cost of living pushes for a fifth round of wage boosts under a national stabilization plan. Washington observers say the plan will not freeze at round four levels and may authorize about 10 cents per hour for large unions with future cost of living adjustments. It relies on unions accepting no strikes above stabilizer levels and forgoing automatic raises linked to productivity and living costs. The issue leaves non unionized workers squeezed, as the government cannot compel employer raises, prompting calls for broader union growth and inclusion in new wage schedules.
