Trouble Stirs as AF of L Threatens Emmet County
Emmet County relief officials and the local American Federation of Labor union near a deal, with a Friday noon strike threatened and picketing planned against non union workers. If work stops, relief aid funding from state and federal sources will drop by more than ten percent for the rest of the month. The dispute follows a county emergency relief committee meeting that cut the common labor rate from 40 to 30 cents per hour, while increasing allowed hours, leaving net wages similar. Merchants say relief pay encourages reliance on relief labor and hurts hiring on relief rolls.
