Docks Vote on Voluntary Settlement and Pay Board Route
House members report that a voluntary settlement includes a 32 percent pay rise over 37 months but would be reviewed by the Pay Board if the bill passes. The measure would let arbitrators set guidelines under the Economic Stabilization Act and bypass the Pay Board. Nixon may not sign immediately, awaiting Saturday caucus actions on ratifying the tentative ILWU agreement. The bill would become law in 100 days unless vetoed, lawmakers note.
