Why we believe
that General Electric’s
wage offer is fair
1. IT MEANS HIGHER AVERAGE "TAKE HOME" PAY IN 1946 THAN IN WARTIME
•We have ottered the union an increase of 10c an hour for all those making less than SI.00 an
hour, and 10 percent increases for those who make more. With the overtime that will be
necessary to meet consumer demand this year, the average employee would have more
"lake home" pay than he had during the war.
Those making from $2,000 to $3,000 in salary would receive 10% increases, and
those receiving between $3,000 and $5,000 annually would receive increases of 5300.
I GENERAL ELECTRICS RECORD ASSURES GOOD FUTURE PAY
The G-E wage policy in normal times assured our workers wage rates equal to, or higher
than, comparable industries in every community in which we operate. We expect to continue
this policy in the future.
3. THE MOST WASTEFUL THING THAT CAN HAPPEN NOW IS A STRIKE
Nothing can be gained by a strike now that could not be gained with men at work. Much can be
lost. A million dollars a day in wages alone can be lost. Homes by the hundreds of thous-
ands-and communities across the land-can sufferJhah^hyw^
