Teamsters Near Agreement On Wage Increases
Union leaders and negotiators for truck drivers in 12 Central States report a new wage and benefits package agreed in principle pending member and employer approval. Hoffa says the package is substantial, with a 42 cent hourly raise claimed, though some employers doubt the proportion. Current base pay is 2.27 an hour. The contract runs through January 31, 1961, and affects about 96,000 drivers with potential ripple effects for 500,000 other members. A Jan 9 meeting in Chicago will hear the proposed terms.
