Hands Off Policy At Present Possibility Of Steel Strike
Government officials privately fret over a potential steel strike while saying they will stay out of bargaining for now. If stalemate lasts into mid next week the government may reconsider intervention. A strike could harm the economy and complicate campaign-year decisions, possibly invoking the Taft Hartley Act and a court-ordered injunction near the contract deadline. The United Steelworkers Union contract expires at midnight and locals were urged to prepare for a strike if no deal is reached. Officials prefer delaying action to avoid prolonging the dispute, but Mediation Service Director Finnegan could take over if the impasse persists, shifting talks to Washington. Industry leaders have signaled a probable steel price increase with a settlement.
