Judge Rules In Westinghouse Labor Case
Administrative law Judge J Pargen Robertson found Westinghouse Electric Corp correct to fire a worker for disorderly conduct after he threatened a co worker. The judge also held the company liable for unfair labor practices by coercively interrogating staff about union activity and threatening dismissal to quash union advocacy. The ruling concerns James E Wright who was fired March 31 1988 from Westinghouse Micarta Division.

Valdez Entry For Repairs Delayed By Oil Slick
A damaged tanker Exxon Valdez near San Diego Bay faces delayed repairs after oil slicks and twisted debris around its hull prompted Coast Guard concerns. Officials downgraded a separate offshore spill from a Greek tanker near Newport, R I, to one fifth of the original 1.6 million gallons. The coast guard suspended harbor entry as an 18 mile by 1 mile slick lingered near the Valdez. In Palm desert, aviation buffs celebrated the B 2 stealth bomber’s first power tests with a public gathering and a roll from its hangar at Plant 42.

Banks Expected to Follow Chase Manhattan on Rate Cut
A steady decline in interest rates prompts economists to predict major banks will follow Chase Manhattan Bank in lowering the prime rate from 11.0 to 10.5 percent. Brusca notes vacation timing but expects more cuts this week as the Fed loosens credit amid slower growth and easing inflation. Other rates fall, including 30 year Treasuries, mortgage rates, and six month CDs, while land and stock prices rise modestly.
