Trash Men Strike Over Boss Ed Marceau Resigns
In San Antonio on June 14 a group of 163 city garbage truck drivers and pickup men walked off for 2 1 2 hours in sympathy with Sanitation Superintendent Ed Marceau who resigned twice in 48 hours. The strike ended after Marceau withdrew the second resignation. He accused the maintenance department of crippling service and of unpaid overtime. A sanitation spokesman said trucks were kept moving while maintenance was consolidated under the street department. Public Works Director J L Dickson pledged extra mechanics and helpers leading to the return of service.
