Unusual Alliance Forms Over Iowa Jobless Pay Funding
In Des Moines a cross group stance emerges as the Iowa Federation of Labor AFL‑CIO and the Iowa Manufacturers Association back a clean unemployment funding bill. The plan would end the waiting week, loosen vacation pay exclusions, raise the wage base to 6000 for 1977, and add surtaxes tied to the fund level. If no action is taken the fund could slip toward insolvency prompting higher taxes in 1977. The maximum weekly benefit is 107 dollars with an average near 85.
