Continental Trailways strike halts most New Mexico bus service
A strike by Continental Western Lines and Continental Central Lines drivers paralyzed most Continental buses in New Mexico today, with only a northern route from Albuquerque to Salt Lake City and few connections remaining. Some services to Cuba Farmington Shiprock Duran go and Taos to Denver stayed active, while Greyhound and small lines offered limited options. The Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen voted 100 percent for the walkout over pay cuts and seniority changes affecting 16 drivers reassigned to the central division, restricting their bid on longer western runs.
