Truce Signs in British Columbia Fishermen Labor War
A UFAWU negotiating committee announced it will likely recommend that 9 000 striking fishermen and other workers accept a new wage price offer from the British Columbia Fisheries Association. The two year contract raises sockeye price to 31 cents per pound this year with a 1 cent hike next year and includes wage boosts for tendermen and shore workers. The offer simulates the 1958 agreement, retroactive to April 16, with signing dates set soon as rank and file members vote.
