RCA Strike Hits Several Plants After Local Vote
Members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers walked out at multiple RCA plants after weekend balloting on a proposed contract. BEW reportedly rejected the deal by a wide margin, though the exact count was not released. An RCA wage offer would raise pay by 4 percent in year one and 3 percent in years two and three, while the union sought 6.5 percent annually. An unrelated accident in Tucumcari left Sky diver Jerome Dolski injured after a fall from a hill during an exhibition.
