UAW, auto makers
face talks deadline
DETROIT (AP) Faced with a mountain
of unresolved issues, Ford Motor Co. and the
United Auto Workers today began a final
attempt to reach a new three-year contract
before a strike deadline of - 11:59 p.m.
tomorrow.
If there is no settlement by the time the
current pact expires, the UAW will call
170,000 Ford workers in 22 states off the job
and force a crippling shutdown of the nation's
second largest automaker.
Bargainers met through the weekend and _
were to meet today in what could be round
the-clock sessions if there were any in
dications the talks could reach a settlement
before the deadline.
After eight weeks of talks, both sides say
they are still far apart on major issues,
ranging from a company proposal that
workers pay some of thier health costs to a
key UAW demand for reduced time.
Other matters involve wages, sup
plemental layoff benefits and pension. The
union has said each could cause a strike.
Ford has made two contract offers within
the past two weeks the latest on Friday
and has assured the union there still is room
to negotiate. Ford's top bargainer, Sidney F.
McKenna, said Friday's offer is not "the
final word," and he expressed continued
hope of resolving contract differences
peacefully.
However, UAW President Leonard
Woodcock said the latest offer left him with
"little optimism" that a walkout could be
averted.
Observers noted - that such statements are
traditional at this stage in the talks and no
one would speculate on the outcome of
tomorrow's final meeting.
Although UAW contracts with all four U.S.
makers covering 700,000 workers expire
at the same time, Ford is the union's 1976
target for a pattern setting agreement to
cover General Motors, Chrysler and
American Motors as well.
There has not been a strike-free settlement
since 1964, the last time the talks came in a
presidential election year. Ford was struck
66 days in 1967, GM 67 days in 1970 and

Chrysler nine days in 1973.
Ford's latest wage offer, up six cents an
hour from the first proposal, .provides an •
average 58 1 / 2 cents an hour increase over :
three years about a three per cent annual : •
hike. It also provides another nine cents
the first year either for wages or new
benefits, and continues the current cost-of
living formula.
The company has called its , offer
"reasonable," noting that the average Ford •
,' worker now makes $6.88 in base wages and
has fringes estimated at another $4 an hour.
The union has not made a specific wage 7 ,
demand, but says Ford's offer is shy of the
"substantial" increase it seeks.
The union also wants a cost-of-living for- :
mula that will provide full protection from ;
inflation. The company says the present ;,
formula with general wage increases
has kept workers ahead of inflation.
Ford workers have received wage hikes :
under the 1973 pact - averaging $1.70 an hour,
Including $1.14 in cost-of-living adjustments. •
A thorny issue involves the UAW's top
• demand for shortening work time to preserve •
current jobs and create new ones. The union
has hinted it would like an additional 12 days
off each year at full pay —on top of. the 30 in ,
holiday and vacation time off workers now
get.•
This demand, in response to the extensive
layoffs during the 1974-75 recession, is part of
a long-range drive toward a four-day work
week'.
Ford says additional time off with pay
would mean higher costs and higher car
prices, dampening sales and causing more -
layoffs.
The two sides also are in a tussle over '
health - care insurance. Ford,. citing
skyrocketing premium costs, wants the
workers to share the cost of their medical
.'overage now paid by the company. V t
Another difficult problem involves the
company-financed Supplemental Unem
ployment Benefits (SUB) fund. which nor
mally guarantees laid-off workerg nearly 95 ,
per cent of their take-home pay for up to a
year.
