The two year pact increases wages by four percent with an Oct 15 1959 reopener and includes a wage per hour rise leading to about 4 extra dollars a week for a first class mechanic and about 43 more for a helper. The agreement mirrors a prior offer with adjusted timing and contains no change to the union demand for representation in grievance procedures.
