No Progress in Strike Talks Over Foreign-Flag Crew Unionization
Representatives from both sides reported no progress at the meeting focused on unionizing crews of American owned ships sailing under foreign flags. Unions say foreign crews deprive U.S. sailors of jobs while operators argue hiring foreign crews is needed to compete with lower European wage scales. Early strike impact appeared limited as some ships remained at sea and fuel supplies along the Eastern seaboard are ample for a month or more. Four major firms Esso Socony Mobil Sun and Atlanticare run tankers with nonunion crews. A large portion of dry cargo moves on foreign ships not affected by the walkout. In New York no immediate sailing of ocean liners was planned though outbound vacation travelers were set to rise.
