Seamen unions reject 60 day truce as Castro refuses
Three major seamen unions rejected Friday a government fact finding armistice in the eight day strike. Castro turned down the committee offer of 500 tractors for 1,214 prisoners and instead sought 28 million in cash or credit. The unions said his actions undo any chance of agreement and may prompt a Taft Hartley injunction. The strike involves about 47,000 union members and could impact millions of dollars in the economy.
