New York sanitation tieup ends after six days
A 6 day strike by 22 000 building service employees ended in New York City as landlords largely accepted a 392 weekly wage increase. Mayor Beame announced workers would return to duty, though 5 to 15 percent of landlords balked at terms. The walkout disrupted trash collection across four boroughs and affected about one million tenants. A separate incident at a Teamsters Ironworkers strike site in Queens left one steward dead and two others hospitalized amid a scuffle. A dead cat hung at the plant door and a scrawled scab message appeared nearby.
