Hodgson optimistic on 1973 labor bargaining outlook
Labor Secretary James D. Hodgson predicts a relatively hopeful 1973 bargaining year with major contracts covering 495 million workers in electrical, rubber, trucking, auto, farm implement and meat packing set to expire. He cites inflation controls, wage gains, and fewer strikes as signs of stability, though warns fair controls are needed to prevent widespread conflict. The postal and Teamster talks loom as the toughest tests, with Frank Fitzsimmons praised for constructiveness amid delicate negotiations.
