what ha has spelled out" In the
union's demands for a guaran
teed annual wage, he added.
The union spokesmen said Ris
ing's statements "are not worthy
of reply" because "he is a huck
ster who obviously is an ambar
rassment to those he pretends
to speak for."
Although the union leaders de
nied they wanted to strike to
gain their demands, they said
they were ready to do so "if nec
essary." With returns in from almost
a fourth of its locals, the union
reported that Ford and GM wor
kers are backing up their nego
tiations committees by voting
more than 94 per cent in favor
of striking if necessary to win
their demands.
Strike Vote Taken
The union ordered the strike
votes taken to permit it to strike
at any time after its contracts
with the companies expire. But
union officials emphasized the
strike votes did not necessarily
mean the union would follow
a "no contract, no work" policy.
Meanwhile, the union prepar
ed to launch its third major an
nual wage drive against Chrys
ler Corp., the nation's third
largest auto producer.
The UAW's 125 - member
Chrysler council met to discuss
its objectives in negotiations
with the firm and plan strategy
for the talks.
The Chrysler contract, cover
ing 115,000 workers, expires on
Aug. 31. Negotiations usually be
gin about 60 days before the
contract expires.
