Steelworkers reach tentative wage and benefit accord
Yesterday at the White House a tentative agreement was disclosed offering 16 cent per hour wage increases for 650000 basic steel workers, a modified union shop, 15 day first month escape, six paid holidays, three weeks vacation after 15 years, a two year contract from June 30 last, and a wage reopen next June totaling about 21 cents per hour. The pre strike pay was just under $2 an hour. The strike, the longest in U.S. steel history, halted production of defense items including 105 mm shells and cost over 21 million tons of steel, affecting the defense program and prompting government action starting April 8.
