Union and Alumax modify injunction over Joliet plant strike
An out of court agreement amends the Grundy County injunction during a two month strike by International Brotherhood of Boilermakers Local 620. Provisions move the union trailer away from the plant, require identification signs on Cardinal Trucking Co. vehicles, and limit security presence to the plant’s own guards. The order, to be signed Monday by Judge Robert Wren, also tightens shack placement and prevents attacks on vehicles.
