Union Chief Accused of Violating Anti-Inflation Wage Guidelines
William Winpisinger, head of the International Association of Machinists, calls Carter anti-inflation rules unfair after the Council on Wage and Price Stability cites his union with a 7 percent wage standard breach in United Airlines contract. The council also finds five oil firms and a Portland electrical union and contractors association in probable violation, marking its first such actions since the court ruled against withholding contracts as punishment for guideline breaches.
