One Third of GE Strikers Return to Local Plants
Approximately one third of the 5,700 Pittsfield General Electric employees on strike for 1101 days returned to work this morning. Some recalled on the third shift, most reported at their regular shifts as recall spreads, with questions remaining about full recall and potential permanent job losses. GE warned some prestrike employment may be cut due to the national slowdown, while union officials offered no estimate on whether all the roughly 600 strikers working elsewhere would return.
