Walkout Deadline Delayed Amid Aircraft Industry Truce
Federal mediators in Los Angeles brokered a late night truce delaying a planned 100000 worker walkout by the United Auto Workers and the International Association of Machinists. Douglas Aircraft and other major plants paused action as unions were told to report to work, while officials warned against overreaction at the plants. The accord, described as a step toward amicable settlement, paused strike plans through the weekend though some tensions remained and officials weighed benefits based on marital status and need.
