End Near for Youngstown Truck Tieup
In Youngstown a lengthy truck strike conference ended with union leaders and hauling officials agreeing on wage increases aimed to end the walkout affecting most local cartage firms. A vote will be taken on the plan, which offers 40 to 47 cents more per hour for dock workers and varied raises for drivers, potentially restoring operations. About 200 drivers met and 800 to 1,000 are expected for the vote. The 200 drivers voted to release all freight from terminals, opening the door to resumption of local hauling.
