Mediation order in Fort Smith strike challenged
James A. Gilker, attorney for Fort Smith, says a recent order appointing chancery masters to mediate a dispute between the city and its unionized employees oversteps Sebastian Chancery Court jurisdiction and violates state law. The city seeks to have the order set aside in Sebastian Chancery Court. The order by Chancellor Warren Kimbrough aimed to end a two day strike by about 200 nonuniformed workers. Kimbrough is with the Naval Reserve in California and may rule by telephone or upon returning August 5.
