WASHINGTON, D. C. — Current
unemployiHpnt would be slashed
by about two-thirds under th«
AFL-ClO's proposed 35-hour staod-
ard work-week, an AFL-CIO econ
omist declared this week.
“A general reduction in hours
for all industries under the Fair
Labor Standards Act’’ 'ivould add
"about 2.5 million jobs” to tlie
national economy and cut ' (Je^p
into per.sisttntly lii“li unemploy
ment rolls, said Kudolpli Oswald
of the AFL-ClO’s Department of
Research. .
Applying the annual prodiicti
vity yain to shorter hours, "the
earnings of workers could , be
maintained without any cost pres
sures during the retluction of the
standard work week,” said Oswald
on the weekly network radio in
terview. Labor Ne.vs Conf'Tcnee,
Oswald predicted that a shorter
work-week Is certain to come,
even without legislation. But, he
•■-aid, it will come faster, "and with
fewer dislocations,” if legislation
is adopted. Today, under labor-
manat'cinent agreements reached
t hr o u g h collective bargainiag,
•bout S' million workers are
^I'eks of less than forty houri, kc
said.
During the atirly part of thii
century the standard* work-week
shortened about 5 hours each
cade, but that trend has not con'--
tiiuied in recent years, (^wald
said, "I believe this is a contribut
ing factor to our rising unempioy-
nietll levels.” he said,
