Pacific Airmotive Walkout Reaches 50 at Long Beach Plant
About 50 workers at Pacific Airmotive Corp in Long Beach joined roughly 1,000 IAM members walking out Monday over fringe benefits in a new contract. IAM says 900 left at the Burbank main plant and 100 at Long Beach Airport and Santa Monica sites. The Long Beach facility employs over 140. The firm, a major aircraft overhaul purveyor, faced a rejected union offer seen as inadequate for cost‑of‑living protection pensions and medical care. Negotiations resume in Burbank.
