Strike Settlement Chances Very Low in Chrysler Walkout
DETROIT, Mich. The CIO United Auto Workers strike against Chrysler faced slim odds for settlement, with federal conciliator Sconyers calling the outlook very black and state conciliator Weiss noting stubbornness on both sides. The strike by 89,000 workers in 25 plants halted 120,000 employees. The union demanded a 10 cent package as pension welfare or a wage hike, rejecting Chrysler's offer of 100 monthly pensions at age 65 with 250 years’ service.
