Strike Threatened Due May 20 With Machinists Mobilizing
A general strike threatening 150000 machinists and 300000 metal trades workers is eyed for May 20 unless bargaining yields a wage claim of ten hours pay for nine. President James O Connell cites pending wage increases and arbitration options as employers resist. The move, supported by the International Association of Machinists, seeks to avoid a walkout but hinges on negotiations and railway involvement remains uncertain.
