The National Maritime Union threatens a strike that could halt ship operations in Delaware County. NMU local rep Stephen Bostwick says a midnight Thursday action is highly likely, affecting Sinclair Refining Co. with 11 ships and 23 to 28 NMU members aboard each vessel. Sun Oil Co. would be spared due to a company union. Union demands include a 30-hour week, higher wages, and expanded subsistence and lodging allowances. Negotiations with passenger, freighter, and tanker operators stalled in New York, with talks recessed until a positive response on equality of treatment and time off.
