Electrical workers ended a three month strike against the Winnipeg Builders Exchange by voting 173 to 133 to accept a two year contract. The deal begins with a 25 cent per hour immediate raise and another 25 cent raise on November 1. Additional increases of 30 cents on May 1, 1972 and November 1, 1972, plus a final 15 cent raise on January 1, 1973, accompany fringe benefits. This pact completes agreements with nine unions, ending a summer strike that disrupted about 80 million dollars of Greater Winnipeg construction projects.
