Rubber Strike Ends; Pension Plan Won
AKRON (IPA) -- Members of United Rubber Workers-CIO have ended a month-long strike against the B. F. Goodrich Co., winning a ten cent an hour company contribution toward an employee insurance and retirement pension program.
More than 17,000 Goodrich workers in seven states were scheduled to return October 3, after the company and union issued a joint statement from Dayton, Ohio, on an interim working agreement.
There will be no pay raise under the new contract, which expires February 1, 1951, but there is a clause permitting a wage reopening in 1950. Other union gains at Goodrich include checkoff, improved holiday pay, revised vacation plan, special wage guarantee, improved employment benefits, and new service credit rules.
The company's insurance and retirement program will be continued, on a joint employee and company cost basis. Sick and accident payments will be higher and new provisions have been made for retirement of long-service employees whose income under the old pension plan would have been inadequate.
