UAW Pushes Profit Sharing Over Short Week in 1958 Pact Talks
The United Auto Workers proposed a profit sharing plan to start when corporate profits exceed 10 percent before taxes. The plan would allocate half of excess profits to stockholders and executives, a quarter to hourly and salaried workers, and a quarter to consumers as purchase rebates. The UAW postponed demands for a shorter work week and called for an immediate general wage increase tied to productivity, with SUB extended and benefits broadened for workers on reduced schedules. The proposal, approved by the International Executive Board, will be refined at a Detroit convention before spring bargaining.
