The State - News from Aug. 30, 1988
Negotiations will resume today in the 3-week-old strike at the National Steel & Shipbuilding Co. in San Diego, and one union leader is optimistic that an agreement will be reached soon. Six unions, representing about 1,200 workers, struck the shipyard Aug. 10. A seventh union, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 569, accepted the company’s last proposal the day before the strike, which evolved from a wage dispute. The company and the striking unions have not met since Aug. 9. Today’s meeting was called by a federal mediator and is scheduled to start at 10 a.m.
