Proposed Lift In Wage Ceiling May Bring About New Disputes
Washington June 2 Labor members of the Wage Stabilization Board clashed with Economic Stabilizer Eric Johnston over raising the wage increase ceiling but saw no split on the 18 member panel. Johnston proposed boosting the 10 percent ceiling by 2 percent to cover productivity bonuses for about 1 million auto workers, alongside a cost of living increase tied to the April 15 Bureau of Labor Statistics index. The auto sector had expected a 2 percent wage rise for productivity gains. The 10 percent limit was set after the January 25 wage-price freeze, provoking a walkout by labor members. Elsewhere a civilian steel supply cut was ordered for July through September, with NPA requiring a 70 percent quota from pre Korea levels, plus 40 and 50 percent cuts in copper and aluminum use starting July 1.
