Electrical Union Rejects Settlement Plan in Westinghouse Strike
Washington unions reject a government settlement plan for the Westinghouse strike now in its 144th day. IUE President James B. Carey calls the proposal unacceptable though not a firm rejection. The panel has disbanded, and talks may resume with Federal Mediation Service Director Joseph Finnegan. The union seeks reinstatement of 36 discharged strikers and safeguards against a shift to daily pay, while the company and panel stand by their recommendations. The plan proposes a five year contract with wage increases and benefits, with the company absorbing a weekly insurance contribution. The strike remains active as negotiations continue.
