Striking for a 25 percent pay raise, the Bartender’s Union yesterday threw picket lines around nine bars and two hotels in the Juneau area. Strikebound over the Labor Day holiday were the Baranof Hotel, Alaskan Hotel, Corbett’s, Triangle, Midget, Arctic, Capitol, Victory and Dreamland bars in Juneau and Mike’s and the Oasis in Douglas. A contract under which bartenders were paid $12 a shift expired on August 31. A new contract calling for $15 a shift was announced on August 16 but has not gone into effect.
