Show So This is Slavery! The very substantial increases in wages that have taken place in the postwar era are not the limit of labor's gains. Preliminary reports from ,a chamber of Commerce of the United Unit-ed States survey indicate that fringe benefit costs employer payments for social security, pensions, pen-sions, vacations and other purposes pur-poses amounted to $739 per employe em-ploye in 1953. The figure is $95 higher than that obtained in a similar survey, covering the identical iden-tical firms, , made two years ago. This, it might be pointed out, has occurred while the Taft-Hartley law, which Union leaders still monotonously mon-otonously call a slave-labor act, was in effect. |
