Pickets Defy Writ in Wilmington Amid Strike Tensions
Picket lines across Wilmington resist a temporary restraining order as NMU MEBA and American Radio Association members demand no work without contract. At Texaco refinery, NMU pickets persist while police monitor gates. In New York ports a solidarity walkout disrupts operations but minor turnout and dockside support occur. The Maritime unions push for negotiations, aiming to unionize US owned ships under foreign flags.
