...hired to tend Annenberg's 18-hole golf course were demanding a pay hike. Annenberg took them to court for violating his right to privacy. Last week the California appellate court reversed a trial court's decision for Annenberg in favor of an appeal by the AFL-CIO, which claimed that domestic employees have the right to strike. The court found that Annenberg's mansion was set so far back from the public road that his privacy was ensured. The decision came too late for the original strikers, all of whom have long since left the ambassador...
...labor unions discussed ways to end sex discrimination in wages, hiring and job classifications. They also resolved to organize more of the nation's 34 million women workers (only 4 million belong to unions) and to elect more female officials (though more than 25% of the AFL-CIO membership consists of women, they hold less than 5% of the key posts...
Congressional Democrats were once expected to legislate continued controls; they pushed through the first authorization for controls, over strong White House opposition, in 1970. Instead, they are accepting the death of controls with remarkable placidity, at least partly because of hard prodding from their supporters in organized labor.

AMPI officially acknowledges making political contributions of $906,245 in 1972, second only to the $1,200,550 reported by the 13.5 million-member AFL-CIO's Committee on Political Education.

But others, which came straight out of the AMPI budget, violated federal laws prohibiting the donation of corporate funds for political purposes. Still other gifts may have broken the federal law limiting individual campaign gifts to $5,000 in a single year...
...breaks: a letup in consumer demand caused by a business slowdown, a record crop this fall and an easing in petroleum prices. Even that less than comforting scenario, and similar ones projected in other nations, could go awry if labor unions force fat settlements. In the U.S., AFL-CIO President George Meany and other leaders are talking up a drive for wage and benefit boosts of 10% or more this year. Japanese unions are demanding an economy-wide wage increase of 30%, which would be sure to fuel that nation's raging inflation...
