Two Year Truce Aims to Stabilize Shipbuilding Nationwide
The government asks 35 eastern shipyards to approve a two year pact to curb strikes, stabilize employment, and reduce worker migration. Drafted by a Washington committee including employers and major unions, the plan sets a $1.12 basic hourly wage for first class skilled mechanics and bans lockouts or work suspensions during the pact. West coast yards largely accept, but one larger yard rejects the agreement, triggering a Defense Mediation Board effort to settle. The core issue remains the demand for union recognition, with a recommended settlement pending.
