CIO Convention Sets Broad Economic Recovery Agenda
The National CIO urges Congress and state governments to boost purchasing power and employment through tax reform, higher minimum wage to 1.25 an hour, expanded social security, national health insurance, anti discrimination laws, and a major housing program. It calls for repeal of Taft Hartley and a labor relations act based on Wagner. It also seeks vast public works, stronger farm policy, and targeted mortgage relief. The plan favors cuts in excise taxes while safeguarding regulatory levies and expands income tax exemptions.
