Sheet Metal Dispute Shuts 450 Shops in So Cal
A citywide shutdown of Southern California sheet metal shops began today amid a wage dispute. The Sheet Metal Contractors Assn of Southern California says about 200 member shops paused work with about 250 nonmembers following, affecting Los Angeles Orange San Bernardino and Riverside counties and possibly Mono Fresno Kern Inyo and San Diego. The stoppage followed failed talks after a tentative wage deal was rejected when the union pressed for buying only union label products. The union scheduled a meeting in Los Angeles Tuesday, with no negotiations likely until after. The exclusion covers military installations like Long Beach Naval Station.
