Trucking Strike Looms as Union Rejects Offer
AFL Teamsters Western Conference members in 11 states rejected the trucking associations wage offer by overwhelming margins 50 to 1 in the West and about 400 to 1 in Northern California. Negotiations resume in Los Angeles as talk of a strike potential arises, with about 80,000 members in the region but likely far fewer affected if a walkout occurs. The proposal included three annual raises totaling 9 cents now and 5 cents later, plus pension contributions in alternate plans.

Ford Seen as Best Bet for Auto Union Strike
Detroit reports suggest Ford Motor Co may be the prime target if a strike hits the Auto Workers. Ford employs about 140,000 workers while General Motors spans about 325,000, with union plans to fund a prolonged walkout via dues and a war fund. Experts note Ford’s vulnerability and postwar costs favor a strike at Ford over GM, though tactics at talks could shift the outlook.
