Cedar Rapids Municipal Strike Shuts Down City Services
More than 200 Cedar Rapids municipal workers joined a Teamsters Local 238 walkout, crippling refuse collection and many street and sewer services. City officials called the action illegal, ordered a 1 p.m. return, but by 2 p.m. little effect was seen. The dispute centers on collective bargaining rights ahead of a 1970 Iowa statehouse lobbying push.
