Workers Walk Out At Armour Firms In Six States
Chicago Sun reports production workers at seven Armour & Co. plants across six states went on strike, affecting more than 9,000 employees. The dispute centers on job standards and automation, with union and Armour arguing over hiring laid-off workers and filling openings at new plants. The strike involves about 80 percent of United Packinghouse Workers at 27 plants, including locations in South St. Paul, Omaha, Kansas City, Mason City, St. Joseph, Denver, and North Platte. A union management automation committee, formed in 1950 and led by educators Dr. Clark Kerr and Dean George Shultz, seeks to address automation issues. Fort Worth and Arlington workers plan to strike Monday.

Strike by St. Lawrence longshoremen disrupts Soviet wheat shipments
About 3,800 longshoremen in St. Lawrence River ports walked off at midnight in Quebec City Trois-Rivieres and Montreal delaying Russia bound wheat and flour moves. The walkout, first by the International Longshoremen’s Association since 1936, aims for higher pay. Negotiations with the Shipping Federation of Canada mediated by Rene Lippe resume midmorning as officials warn progress is slow. Government declines direct intervention to avoid hurting collective bargaining while a broader shipping disruption risks greater damage than the Russia move.
