Union to Set Wages for Coming Year by Teamsters and Shovelers
The Teamsters and shovelers union meets next Wednesday to adopt a wage scale for the coming year. No sight-hour demands are expected, and the scale may be lower than last year due to unemployment and scarce work. President Bigger says the union has kept 113 men through winter, with several contracts won on cooperative plans including sewer work in Indiana and a South-side project. The action aims to balance jobs across contractors, as only a portion of workers can be employed simultaneously.
