East Coast Dock Tieup Spreads to Baltimore and Beyond
A sustained longshore walkout cripples New York and spreads to Baltimore with labor leaders claiming impacts of about a million dollars daily. In Baltimore about 7,400 dockers stayed home to attend secret meetings while Boston and Philadelphia workers were reportedly at work but planning talks. International Longshoremen's Association President William W Bradley warned the entire union could strike coast to coast if governors do not meet with the union. The dispute centers on alleged harsh and discriminatory actions by the bi state Waterfront Commission against the ILA, which Yon denies. The New York walkout of roughly 25,000 continues despite a strike restraining order issued by the State Supreme Court. Bradley said he had not seen the order. The union demands a meeting with state governors, and the walkout defies an 18 month old court injunction against actions of the Waterfront Commission.
