Sun Ship security guards end strike after pact
About 27 striking guards from United Plant Guard Workers of America Local 506 returned to work after Sun Ship Inc reached a one year contract ending April 1982. The settlement gives a 10 percent wage rise and a $50 weekly bonus to offset lost weekend overtime under a five days on two off schedule. The wage base reaches $8.57 per hour with rate equalization. The deal includes a letter not to subcontract guard work outside the bargaining unit. The union claimed the new schedule could reduce overtime, while Boilermakers Shipbuilders unions had not honored the picket line. The agreement was the first for the guards with Sun Ship, reached under federal mediation.
