Mill Workers Strike For Wage Increase At Southwest Lumber
Workers at the Southwest Lumber Co mill and affiliated woods near the Sacramentos walk out over a demand for a 10 percent raise. Union officials say the strike targets pay parity with other New Mexico lumber firms, while the company cites an 18 month contract with 11 months remaining and adherence to its terms. John Murray of Albuquerque met with company officials after an unsuccessful conference. A 20 man picket blocks shipments at the mill, but union leaders promise no force to impede loads. Louis Carr, union president, says the strike was called without warning and workers now act independently of the company.
