Frisco Strike Embargo Extended
A temporary restraining order against a St. Louis-San Francisco Railway strike was extended indefinitely as the United Transportation Union seeks more time to prepare its case. The union, about 3,500 workers, had threatened to strike June 8 over a requested washroom replacement at Springfield Missouri operations, while the company cites schedule changes and vandalism as reasons.
