Atlanta Firefighters Strike Over Wages and Hours
About 500 of Atlanta's 728 firemen walked out in a wage and hours dispute. They rejected a plea by Mayor Ivan Allen Jr. to return to work as a Fulton County judge issued an injunction against the Atlanta Firefighters Union, Independent. The city improvised coverage and police help, while union president Capt. James J. Martin defended the action as protecting members' pensions and urged a union vote on the mayor's offer. The dispute centers on a shorter 56 hour week, higher pay, and recognition as bargaining agent, with potential arbitration.
