Bananas Unloaded as Judge Orders Charleston Strike Action
A Florida circuit court judge ordered longshoremen at the New York port to unload 12 000 stems of bananas from the Netherlands freighter Tom Van der Heide. He issued an injunction based on a banana handling contract extended to Jan 10 with a no strike clause. The ILA says a Charleston rift was a misunderstanding and local stevedores in Charleston proceeded with a banana shipment while canceling a prior agreement to unload Canadian seed potatoes after national pressure.
