wages, more leisure, and improved living standards.

of these is the promotion of supplementary employment benefit 64．______
plans. It is emphasized that since the employer involved with such 65．______
a plan has a direct financial interest in preventing unemployment,

cause the less possible problems in jobs and job assignment. Such 67．______
unions are working for dismissal pay agreements, required that 68．______
permanently dismissed workers are paid a sum of money based 69．______
on length of service. Another approach is the idea of the
"improvement factor", that calls for wage increases based 70．______
