The union has threatened a strike with 72 hours notice if negotiations fail, seeking roughly $4.93 an hour in wages and benefits beyond the old $7.10 for drivers and $6.90 for warehousemen.

Senate eyes 39 week jobless pay limit
The Senate moved to cut unemployment benefits from 65 to 39 weeks and shift costs to state and local governments for nearly 8 million workers. The measure, part of a broader reform to the federal state program covering 68 million Americans, would raise employers taxes to trim an 11 billion dollar deficit and await House conference action. A Javits proposal to restore 52 weeks failed 53 to 27. Also noted is George Harrison saying he is astonished by a 10 million dollar A&M suit over a contract dispute.
