Walkout Ties Up Harbor Construction Jobs in Southland
A strike by AFL engineers and iron workers halts three harbor projects in Los Angeles area. Local 12 ordered men off the Anaheim St bridge site effective today, with cotton shed Pier A and Pier B pile driving and fill also at risk. About 4000 engineers and 1000 iron workers joined the dispute with AGC and California unions, seeking 27.5 cents an hour pay rise versus 19 cents given to other unions. Picket lines unlikely unless heavy equipment moves onto jobs.
