Oil Workers Strike Deepens As WSB Talks Continue
The current halt in settlement talks is described as critical and insolvable as 990 000 strikers wait for a Washington hearing Tuesday on 25 cent an hour wage demands. Union leaders seek 18 1/2 cents more, with the CIO’s Oil Workers International Union rejecting a return-to-work request pending the hearing. If no agreement emerges, a California-wide strike could spread to Shell Standard Tide Water and Union Oil plants, with unit-by-unit actions possible.
