IKE AND ICE CREAM DRIVERS MAY STRIKE
May 26. About 3,000 milk and ice cream drivers announced readiness to strike if wage talks with the Greater union fail. The drivers seek a 15 cent per hour raise, while the union has offered eight cents. They currently work seven days a week with a guaranteed daily minimum of 8.33 and are paid on a commission basis which may raise earnings. An extra 50 cents per day is added by War Labor Board rules from 1943, and the association proposed a six day week with a $5 weekly bonus for Saturday shifts if accepted.
