Union Head Warns of Airline, Railroad Strikes Next Year
AFL-CIO International Association of Machinists President P. L. Siemiller warns that negotiations affecting 135000 railroad workers and 40000 airline mechanics could trigger transportation strikes early in 1969. He cites past standoffs and says court action may follow if settlements drag. The union seeks 6 percent retroactive pay, a 40 percent airline wage increase, and rail pay hikes, with strikes possible after December 31 if delays persist.
