Gardner Union Sign Pact For 3 Percent Pay Hike
Gardner Board and the United Independent Paper Workers Union representing Gardner Middletown hourly paid employees and Manchester Machine Co employees agreed on a 3 percent general wage increase effective June 27. The increase costs about 6.5 cents per hour on average, with 5.3 cents in wages and 1.2 cents in fringe benefits. Individual boosts range from 5 to 8 cents per hour. The agreement follows a 1955 nickel-an-hour pattern and comes after seven months of the earlier “economic package.” Office and clerical staff in the same group will receive similar raises. Wages for yard workers at Gardner Locks were also under discussion.
