Strikers Are Sued By Boeing
The Boeing Airplane Company filed suit in Federal District Court seeking 2 250 000 in strike damages against the Aeronautical Mechanics Union Local 751 and the International Association of Machinists parent body. The action accuses the unions of causing and sanctioning a strike involving more than 14 500 workers at Seattle plants during a no strike contract. The union contends the contract was void and Boeing refused to bargain in good faith. The company says damages could rise as the strike continues and workers line up for wage checks. Police kept lines, 50 pickets stood by, and about 2 500 000 in checks were to be paid out for prior work days.
