Wirtz Urges Quick Congressional Decision on Airline Strike
Labor Secretary Wirtz urged Congress to act fast on ordering striking airline machinists back to work. A Senate backed measure would compel 35,000 machinists at Eastern, National, Northwest, Trans World and United to return for up to 180 days, with a possible 90 day final extension after a dispute board report. He noted the administration remains neutral but would sign if passed, while committee members urged settlement through bargaining. The dispute centers on 3.2 percent price-wage guidelines impacting mediated talks and broader stabilization programs.
