Equal pay strike may be settled in San Jose
In San Jose California the Municipal Employees Local 101, behind the nations first equal pay strike for jobs held by women, neared a tentative agreement with city officials calling it a major step toward parity. The pact would grant an equitable across the board pay increase for about 2000 workers, including librarians clerks and park aides, while avoiding terminations for those who returned to work. The council had previously rejected a similar tentative deal, and talks continued as union negotiators weighed ratification. Police and fire services remained uninvolved in the dispute.
