Union Down by City Council Over City Workers Edict
Cedar Rapids city council backed its return-to-work order for striking city workers on Sept. 24, a move seen by supporters as a victory over the Teamsters and by opponents as a setback for organized labor. Teamsters official Harry J. Wilford warned of more work stoppages if demands for larger salary increases are not addressed, noting budget constraints and end-of-year fund transfers.
