With employees, their unions, and manage ment all working steadily together, this policy has led to many unusual job advantages. It has kept wage rates high. It has led to employee benefit plans which include retirement with life (Income at 65, cash-savings plans, vacations with pay, generous accident and sickness benefits. But the important point is how this combina Esso - tion of good workers in good jobs has hud good results for so many people... Good for the work ers, of course. Good for the company.
