Gardner Workers Get One Cent Hourly Increase
Gardner division employees will receive a one cent per hour pay raise effective after the first pay period following November 1. The increase, averaging about two cents an hour for hourly paid workers, raises annual cost by about $110,000 and stems from the company’s cost of living plans in effect since 1950. The raise covers more than 2100 Gardner workers in Middletown and Lockland and about 120 at Manchester Machine Co. in Middletown, with the merger not altering the plan.
