Union Ends 12-Week Strike Against St Joseph Hospital
In Memphis the 12 week strike against St Joseph Hospital was called off by union leaders and the rank and file voted to return to work Monday morning. Rev Ralph Abernathy announced the settlement on the steps of the Criminal Courts Building as he and four other ministers were released on $1 bonds. The walkout involved 175 to 200 workers per the union, though hospital officials estimated about 80. The strike arose from disagreements over which nonprofessional workers could vote in a union representation election amid mediation efforts led by Roman Catholic Bishop Most Rev Joseph A Durick.

The bill sits at $1.1 billion above Nixon's request and is held over until Congress returns on January 19.
