Safeway Store Managers
Auree 10 New Contracts

Safeway store managers and
officials of the grocery chain
settled their contract differences
late yesterday with the managers
getting a SO weekly salary in
crease.
The managers organization,
Local 1888 of the AFL Retail Gro
Gerry Managers, through which the
ISL members had bargained for IA
years, recently was invalidated by
a ruling of a National Labor Rela-
tions Board trial examiner. The
NLRB official held that the Safe
way managers are supervisors"
rather than employees" under the
Taft-Hartley Act. AS such they
are unable to bargain collectively,
the board held.
AS a result the managers signed
individual contracts with the
chain. Provisions include the
same working hours and condi-
tions prevailing under the last
contract, as well as the wage in
crease. The expired contract gave
the managers SAL per week plus
l per cent of gross sales, with a
ceiling of $4,000 income.
The managers had voted April
4 to strike unless management
agreed to recognize them as
union.
