Food Airlifted to Catalina Island Amid Picket Standoff
A union dispute halted surface food deliveries to Avalon, Catalina Island, prompting an airlift of over 25 tons of fresh milk, meat, vegetables, and other perishables. Mayor Roy Taylor Edid said a Coast Guard takeover could occur if needed. The conflict centers on assumed handling rights for roll-on trailers, with NLRB involvement pending. Island officials report no immediate shortage, relying on airlift and limited sea service to maintain supplies.
