Roofers working on three undergraduate Houses returned to work yesterday after a week-long strike was settled Friday.
The 525 members of Roofers Union Local No. 33 walked off the job last week after rejecting for the second time a union negotiated contract.
Renovation work in Dunster, Kirkland and Eliot Houses will not be severely delayed by the walkout, construction officials said, as most of the work was nearing completion when the strike began.
The roofers struck demanding that they continue to be paid overtime for work on Saturdays. Under the agreement rejected last week, they would have been paid at straight time--a step back from the contract that expired May 31.
