Rally Ends With Vigil At Rocky Flats Nuclear Plant
At Golden Colorado a weekend protest at the Rocky Flats nuclear weapons site closed with a rail track vigil. About 150 demonstrators including Daniel Ellsberg braved wind and rain to protest nuclear power and call for disarmament. No arrests were made as security allowed the symbolic blockade to remain along a rarely used track toward the facility, with bluegrass music and kites adding a festive mood despite health and safety warnings.

Roanoke Rapids Labor Rift Persists After Textile Accord
The NLRB settlement with JP Stevens does little to heal union and nonunion divides in Roanoke Rapids. Union leaders dismiss the decree as a company ploy to burnish its image while a pro company faction argues it shows good intentions. The out-of-court deal ends a nationwide injunction request and requires Stevens to post notices, reinstate 11 of 15 dismissed workers, and halt violations, yet local tensions remain with ongoing public campaigns and stalled contract talks at several plants.
