Yonkers Firefighters End 48-Hour Strike With Arbitration Planned
Yonkers firefighters returned to duty after a 48 hour walkout that began Wednesday evening. Lt. Joseph Kivel said private cars were used to monitor for life hazards and judge any fires. Total city action involved 1,000 fire personnel and 422 public works workers. Officials warned the Taylor Law penalties would apply despite a tentative pact to submit fringe-benefit dispute to binding arbitration by May 8.
