Workers set to receive Friday pay as strike continues
Lear-Romeo Division of Lear Inc will have pay checks ready Friday for striking employees who may collect at the company employment office from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Union leaders and company officials said talks could resume, but no meeting was scheduled by noon. Union agent Albert Mertz cited seniority and time study provisions as major objections, alongside wage terms. H. Andrus, Lear vice president, called the walkout regrettable and said a good offer had been made. He planned to confer with attorney Richard Stith to arrange new talks. Union members urged bargaining at any time with 24 hour picketing plans at Central Labor Hall, emphasizing peaceful demonstrations. The union had extended the prior contract by four days after declining a four percent raise, with a half percent increase agreed at last bargaining sessions aided by Federal Mediator Gilbert Selden.
