Eastalco Aluminum Co and United Steelworkers failed to make progress after a two hour mediation at the Sheraton Inn Frederick.

South Africa stockpiles strategic goods against sanctions
South Africa has kept a decade long stockpile of strategic goods to shield its economy from international anti apartheid sanctions and set up a panel to explore ways to bypass them. Manpower Minister Pietre du Plessis said the government would not be found wanting and described moves to seek barter agreements as part of a broader strategy. Desmond Tutu criticized the cabinet’s stance, calling sanctions relief efforts a public relations tactic and warned of continued hardship for blacks under apartheid.
