Bath Iron Works Welders Vote Amid Settlement Hopes

A tentative settlement appears possible as Bath Iron Works welders and management meet with a U S Labor Department conciliator. The welding department remained closed after a secret ballot, with 60 of 65 voters in favor of returning to work and 5 against, while 114 stayed away. Supporters of the work stoppage cited wage classifications, clock removal, seniority, and shop steward recognition as aims.
