Court Orders 176 Firemen Back to Work in Rockford
Rockford Illinois firefighters returned to their posts after a circuit court issued a temporary injunction halting the 50 percent walkout by 176 members. Judge Albert S. O Sullivan warned against striking a municipality and demanded an end to the labor action. Local 413 president Donald Lindstrand said the union would press for a $200 annual raise to match city policemen’s pay, with fire watches and hospital coverage during the strike. Outdoor burning ban lifted as crews resumed full duties.
