The Teamsters union formally announced that it will begin a worldwide strike against Pan American World Airways on Saturday at 9:01 p.m. Pacific time. William Genoese, director of the union’s airline division, said there is enough support for Pan Am Local 732 among other Teamsters locals to cut off the airline’s supplies of fuel, laundry and liquor around the world. However, the airline said it will be able to operate normally during a strike, and some travel agents surveyed by the Associated Press said the troubled airline’s incentives will keep passengers on board.
