Union Contempt Guilty in 18 Day Teachers Walkout
The United Federation of Teachers and president Albert Shanker were found guilty of criminal contempt for defying a no strike order during an 18 day walkout. Justice Emilio Nuñez fined the union 150000 dollars and sentenced Shanker to 15 days in prison with a 250 dollar fine. The Taylor Act limits penalties to 10000 per day. In the same ruling, Nuñez denied action against George Altamore and David Wittes for their roles. An accompanying incident at Fairless Works involved a steel truck collision with a picket car near the main gate injuring Sterling Yeadon. The accident occurred as trucks attempted to depart without halting for pickets. Yeadon was hospitalized with a knee injury.
