Labor dispute at Pan American may unlock New York talks
Negotiators say settlement of a systems contract in New York removes a major hurdle to resolving the Pan American construct and Transport Workers Union dispute at the Nuclear Rocket Development site in Staten. An extension of the current contract expires at midnight Monday. The Ching Panel suggested it would consider another intervention request after a further negotiating session, with federal mediator Gene Barry uncertain due to personal matters in San Francisco. Both sides hope Washington’s panel will intervene, allowing renewed talks or another extension to prevent a flare up Monday night.
