Teamsters Strike Hits 22 Trucking Firms Nationwide
Thousands of Teamsters workers walked off the job in a midnight strike against 22 trucking firms, with up to 75 000 union members joining. Disputes centered on plans to hire more part time workers and increase rail use, while some drivers continued routes to reach picket lines at home terminals. A Seekonk mass picket faced disorderly conduct charges after an object was thrown at a truck. Minor injuries reported as a striker was hit by a leaving terminal truck. Consumers expect little immediate disruption as many firms handle raw materials rather than finished goods.

Carroll Creek project moves along at acceptable pace in Frederick
City officials say development on three of ten city owned Carroll Creek parcels is underway with a fourth possible as plans progress. The Gov William Donald Schaefer office building is planned for a 2 acre site off Commerce Street to house social services and related agencies.
