Since the social contract held all increases to a flat monetary standard and ruled out raises in Phase 1 above a $14,000-a-year ceiling, the effect was to push low wages upward and restrict higher ones. A machine-tool operator in British Leyland's truck and bus division now makes more a week ($118.84) than his supervisor...
