60000 May Walk Out Garment Workers Strike Looms
New York faces a possible garment industry strike as 60000 workers may walk out if arbitration fails. Balloting by the International Ladies' Garment Workers Union shows likely unanimous approval for a strike, potentially tying up 300000 workers in allied trades and costing about 50 million dollars in business and 1 million weekly in wages during the peak season. The timing aligns with Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur preparations.
