Officials seek voluntary cooperation to end strikes involving 150000 workers while contracts covering 500000 more near expiry. AFL-CIO contemplates legal challenges to limit the wage provisions and cost of living clauses. The United Auto Workers threaten major auto plant strikes if raises are denied during the freeze.
