Wilson Holds Marine Strike Threat Talks
London reports Prime Minister Harold Wilson chaired a crisis cabinet session as the National Union of Seamen threatened a weekend strike that could halt Britain’s 2,500 ship fleet and disrupt food and raw materials imports. The 62,500-member union rejects a postponement while demanding a 40-hour week, overtime pay, and a $1.75 monthly raise. An able seaman earns about $168 monthly.
