GM workers avert strike with 11 cent raise for 225000
The threat of a 225000 GM strike was averted by an 11 cent per hour wage increase after 18 hours of bargaining with the CIO and UAW. The deal sets the third postwar pattern for the auto industry and affects about 1250 workers at Brown-Lipe-Chapin in Syracuse, with a two year contract through May 1950 and a potential future adjustment tied to living costs. The wage formula guarantees a minimum base and allows future changes, with no reopeners during the contract. Union leaders will seek ratification from GM plant members.
