Labor strife as Bridgeport machinists split over Lavit dispute
In Bridgeport a rift within the Machinists union deepens as Samuel Lavit denies mayoral plans and Local No. 30 is replaced by Local No. 116 led by Davison. Davison claims 90 percent loyalty to 116 and vows papers and funds will be transferred to the new lodge, while Lavit contends most members remain with Local No. 30 and fights to reclaim control. Legal actions loom over paper custody and fund access as the factions maneuver for dominance.
