Grain handlers urged to accept 63 cent wage rise formula
Vancouver CP Ed Sims says grain handlers should vote to accept the Perry Formula ending a 10 week strike. The plan offers 63 cents an hour over three years plus a $100 lump sum for 1964-65 and retroactive raises of 16 cents in 1965 and 1966 with a further 16 cents in 1967. The settlement drops a lawsuit from the Alberta Wheat Pool and may end the no strike demand. The strike began June 2 and slowed grain movement at Vancouver elevators amid a national emergency call by PM Pearson.
