Wage Board Hearing on Strike Bargaining Status
Unions rejected an earlier WSB request to end the walkout and the board said today's hearing would examine bargaining status and the prospects of ending the strike rather than merits. The case, referred by Truman for a recommended settlement basis, was sent back to parties as industry reps refused to attend.
