Pay raise pact signed by Local 3 at Morton Salt
Local Union No. 3 of the International Chemical Workers Union reached a two year contract with Morton Salt. The deal covers about 220 hourly paid employees. Negotiations stretched due to job security and regular part time employee concerns. The APL 1 contract expires May 1968. Chicago office staff joined Morton reps in discussions. A 1982 strike had lasted seven weeks, ending with the contract signing August 1, 1982, and no mine work stoppage occurred that year due to negotiations.
