Air Controllers and Government At Odds In Talks
Washington AP reports air traffic controllers and the government remain far apart in contract talks. Transportation Secretary Drew Lewis warned of an almost certain Monday strike unless an extension is granted. The sides were about 600 million dollars apart, making negotiations seem fruitless as a potential strike could ground half the nation’s flights. Union president Robert E Poli said no progress was made and pressed for a new offer. President Reagan was told to take strong legal action against strikers if needed.
