AFTE Strike Vote Framed as Defensive Move at GE
Edmund W. Noetzel of AFTE Local 141 described Friday’s strike vote by GE draftsmen as a defensive measure to protect the union and its contract. The Local 140 contract expires Sept. 30, with talks to resume on a proposed new pact as layoffs and a contested clause prompt concern over a right to strike if no agreement is reached. GE counters that elimination of a clause would misstate the agreement. GE may resist. The union appeals a grievance over playoff-related issues to the final step, with GE to reply by Thursday.
