Meany Accepts Freeze With Labor Says Will Bargain
AFL-CIO President George Meany said he will bargain with the White House on labor cooperation after Nixon's wage price freeze and declined to testify before Congress to avoid tipping labor’s hand. White House strategists favor a labor management public stabilization board after the freeze ends November thirteen. Meany urged Congress to take economy control but said he would testify if asked, while noting anger at the wage price freeze remains strong. Nixon ordered postponement of wage hikes for federal blue collar workers to February 15 and asked Congress to let stand the July 1 date for federal white collar and military pay freezes, with a 30 day veto window.
