went to work Thursday.
Their return marked the end of i
the longest strike jn the mineral-1

ost an estimated $8 million in
cost an estimated $8 million in
lost wages alone.
Charter members of the North
west Metal Workers Union voted
Wednesday night 248-2 to accept
a contract recommended by ne
gotiators for the union and the
Bunker Hill Co. Some 500 were
eligible to ballot.
The union had campaigned on
the slogan "back to work by
Christmas" and accomplished it
with a couple days to spare.
The contract called for a 5 cent
an hour package over the next
five years and included a 29 cent
wage hike.
The average daily wage at
Bunker Hill before the strike was
abor. t S19.
The first wage boost in the new
pact is 7 cents an hour, effective
Dec. 11, 1960. There will be 6 cent
an hour hikes Jan. 1 of 1962 and
1963 and 5 cent hikes Jan. 1 of
1964 and 1965. The contract ex

The contract contained the
area's first metal price escalator
clause, which could provide addi
tional wages for workers when the
price of lead-zinc, ihe primary
metals handled by the company,
reaches 29 cents. (The current
price of lead-zinc per pound is 23
cents.) Higher metals prices
would mean more money for
workers.
