For instance, between July 1967 and April 1968, the Coop ran five training programs for 75 disadvantaged youths recruited through ABCD at a cost of twenty thousand dollars.

Contrary to the opposition's claims, no employee earns under the minimum wage of $1.60 per hour, while the average employee wage is $1.95 per hour. In addition, employees get liberal fringe benefits...
