New Proposal Placed Before Truck Strike Negotiators

The proposal goes to the National Steel Carriers Association and unions for vote this week as the strike harms steelmakers with 15,000 to 20,000 jobs affected and deliveries down 16 percent in September. Violence and rock throwing also occur near Maryland and Pennsylvania turnpikes amid mounting tensions.
