Harvard-HUERA Pact Is Imminent

The University and the Harvard University Employees' Representative Association (HUERA) will probably conclude negotiations on Monday for a new contract covering all of HUERA's nearly 600 members, Edward W. Powers, director of employee relations, said yesterday.

Powers met yesterday with Robert V. Travers, HUERA's president, and announced afterwards that the two sides are "very close" to a final agreement.

HUERA and Harvard reached a tentative agreement Tuesday on contract terms for nearly 550 union building custodians. Contract terms for over 50 HUERA watchmen have yet to be resolved.

Travers could not be reached for comment last night.
