Permanent injunction blocks firemen strike nationwide
A federal judge in Washington issued a permanent injunction preventing railroad firemen from striking to restore 18,000 jobs erased by arbitration two years ago. The AFL-CIO Brotherhood of Firemen and Enginemen said it would appeal. Union president H. Gilbert denounced the ruling as an unbelievable conglomeration of in cogflatencias.
