The Nation - News from Feb. 1, 1988
Negotiators for Amoco Oil Co. and the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers International Union reached tentative agreement in Denver on a new contract that the union hopes to use as a pattern for 60 other companies. The agreement averted a Sunday midnight deadline for a strike that could have spread to 44,000 OCAW workers. Most of the union’s 300 contracts had been scheduled to expire. Ratification votes were set for today. Terms call for a 2-year contract to expire Jan. 31, 1990, with a 30-cent-an-hour pay raise effective today and a 3% increase on Feb. 1, 1989, an OCAW spokesman said.
