Lockout threat renewed in state
The Associated General Contractors of Minnesota renewed the threat of a statewide lockout for 100000 construction workers, saying it will not be used "at this time." The 75 member labor committee, representing 400 employers, met in Minneapolis to discuss the possibility amid scattered picketing in the south and pending strikes in the north. If invoked, the lockout would cover six trades until contracts are signed, with expired contracts noted as of April 39 and walkouts in multiple cities. No bargaining sessions are planned with iron workers or cement masons, while talks were held with general laborers and bricklayers earlier in the week.

Britain's Northern Ireland minister William Whitelaw dismissed the IRA Provisional cease-fire offer as an ultimatums from terrorists.
