Labor curtails output at nation’s largest Titanium plant
A special union meeting at Henderson Junior High School led to the Steel Workers authorizing a two member committee to reopen talks with company officials over wage demands. Workers had been paid 3.5 cents over the national rate but sought 10 cents more with fringe benefits. The result impacts Henderson’s economy as negotiations proceed. Separately Painters Local 159 and glaziers and floor coverers settled contracts, with painters set to gain 25 cents an hour yearly for three years retroactive to July 1, while current disputes linger at Nellis Air Force Base with a Phoenix contractor over nonunion labor and gate picketing.
