No Agreement
Between Unions,
Alaska Contractors
SEATTLE, UP) — Wage negotia
tions for 1954 between Alaska
contractors and eight construction
unions were recessed without
agreement Friday after labor rep
resentatives demanded wage in
creases and employers countered
by proposing a cut.
Larry Moore, manager of the
Alaska chapter of the Associated
General Contractors, said the
talks were recessed “amicably” to
be resumed at an undetermined
date after the holidays.
Moore said labor representatives
asked for a basic hourly wage in
crease of $1.00, plus free subsis
tence, travel time and double time
for overtime work.
He said employers countered by
asking removal of some fringe
benefits from the present contract
and an across-the-board wage re
duction of 25 cents an hour.
The employers’ request for a
wage decrease,” Mocrre said in a
statement, “was based upon the
stabilization of economic condi
tions throughout Alaska during
the past year and the general re
duction in cost of living that has
resulted from the increased hous
ing facilities and decline in the
cost of essential subsistence
items.”
The construction unions, all
AFL, represent operating engin
eers, teamsters, laborers, iron
workers, plasterers, cement ma
sons, bricklayers and lathers.
Moore said present wages range
from $3.09 hourly for laborers to
$4.19 for bricklayers.
He estimated peak employment
in construction work in Alaska
this year at 15,000 to 20,000, in
cluding resident and transient
workers.
