Medford Dance Studio MERRICKS BALLROOM The truth about "take-home" The demand of UAW-CIO leaders for a wage increase to "maintain wartime take-home" assumes that the wartime work week averaged 48 hours. That is not true. In General Motors workers averaged 45.6 hours work a week. For industry as a whole the average was a little less. The demand of UAW-CIO leaders also assumes that the postwar work week will be 40 hours. General Motors expects to work 45 to 48 hours or a considerable period oj time in order to pro duce enough goods to relieve shortages created during the war. Employes will be paid at the rate oj time-and-a-half for tours worked over 40. General Motors answered the UAW demand for a i0 jump in present rates with the offer of a wage increase that would have averaged 13H cents an hour. This would have made the average wage increase since January 1941 at least equal to the increase in the cost of living. A GM worker who earned $56.93 for a 45.6-hour week during the war would have received $63.44. under the GM postwar offer, for working the same number of hours. This offer, aimed to increase wartime take-home pay by at least 10, was rejected by UAW leaders. WHY? More and Better Things for More People" 3 1 .., "r o ' .VASELECT BEER' AsJfr- p.-'i"!
