Its construction slowed by a series of interconnected strikes, the Health Center will open about the first of November, according to Dr. Curtis Prout, chief of Medicine to the University Health Services.
The delay of one month in the opening date is the cumulative result of strikes by six of the 16 trade unions involved in the building's construction. The latest of these squabbles came from the glass-setters, who returned to the job Tuesday after an absence of six weeks. Other unions to strike recently are the brick-layers and the tile-setters.
Prout pointed out yesterday that a strike by one group always slows the other workers down. For example, the plumbers can't finish their installations until the tile-setters are through with the floors.
Preparations for the hurricane also delayed work, according to Prout.
