Rockefeller and Union Reach Temporary NYC Sanitation Deal
Governor Nelson Rockefeller announced a plan to end the nine day garbage strike by temporarily government takeover of the city sanitation department. The move would pay 10,000 strikers under a mediator plan with a $425 annual raise over three years, starting at $6,424 and rising to $7,956, as union leaders signaled some return to work. Lindsay denounced the plan as capitulation and vowed to oppose the effort when the Legislature convenes.
