Agreement
Sets Many
Precedents
DETROIT. Sept. 29 (PV The Ford
Motor company and the CIO United
Auto Workers reached agreement
early today on a hlstory-makmg
pension plan to be financed by the
company.
It will pay 1100 monthly in
cluding socisl security to Ford
workers over 65.
The agreement, based on a ten
cent an hour package recenUy rec
ommended by a presidential fact
finding board In the steel industry,
averted a strike of 115000 ford pro
duction workers.
Lengthy Session
The marathon negotiations ran
nearly 35 hours without recea and
set an endurance record lor the
auto Industry. As late a midnight,
when the old contract expired. UAW
President Walter P. Reuther said
there w as still a 50-50 chance walk
out might be called.
Th new pact runs two and a half
years, giving hope of long peace in
the Industry.
Effective October I. providing tt
Is ratified by rank and file Ford
workers, the new contract Is unique
In th auto industry's history in at
least thre respects:
Fact Highlight
1. It calls for the first major pen
sion plan, and th company agreed
for the first time to shoulder the
entire financial responsibility for
pension.
2. For th first time, the union let
It demand for an hourly wage in
crease go by the board in lavor ot
security provisions. The present
waga rate ol gl (6 an hour will be
continued. -
1. The 30-month 'durr.tion, a rec
ord In the auto Industry.
Th pact may well affect m 1 1
lions of workers In th nation's oth
er heavy industry particularly the
steel workers.
Pension Basis
Ford Vice President John 8. Bu-j
gas said his firm's pension agree
ment was based on the expenditure
of the 10-cent an hour limit rerom-
mended by a presidential fact-find-;
lng board In the steel Industry.
That "package has not yet been '
granted to steel workers and a 1
strike has been set for midnight to
morrow. "This agreement." Reuther said,
"points the way in the steel Indus
try, where they ar resisting a prin
ciple established here that a pen
sion should be entirely company-financed.
It will lay the ground-work
in our Industry for moving for
ward." Administrators
The pension plan will be adminis
tered by a Joint board of trustees,
on which union and company will
have equal representation.
Five thousand Ford worders ar
eligible to retire immediately. How
ever, the union said It was arrang
ing for a cushion period, so all
would not retire at once.
