New Contract Talks Resume In Detroit
DETROIT UPI New contract talks between the United Auto Workers and the big three GM Ford Chrysler resume today with the union leadership noting about 3 million dollars. The sales tax issue appears dead for now as two bills were introduced but dropped. The UAW disciplined 10 Chrysler officials with little protest, signaling member support for leadership amid prior wildcat strikes at two plants that idled 5,400 workers after Chrysler disciplined over 200 committeemen last week. The new suspensions range from one to three days for arbitration rule violations tied to grievances under the June 1 production start.
