Union Meets Tonight On Kitchen Contract

The full membership of the A.F.L. Cooks and Pastry Cooks Association, Local 186, will meet tonight to decide whether or not to avert a threatened strike in the University's dining halls by accepting a compromise wage increase.

The union, meeting in its Pemberton Square headquarters in Boston, will consider the University's proposal last week for a 10-cent across-the-board hourly wage increase. Earlier, the local had voted to strike unless its demands for a flat 10 percent raise were met.

Four hundred and sixty union members--employees in the University dining halls--are involved in the current negotiations for a contract to replace last year's wage formula. Pay raises presumably will be retroactive to July 1, the date the old agreement was scheduled to expire.
