Eastern Airlines Strikers Start ‘Moving Picket Line’
Eastern Airlines’ striking unions Saturday initiated a 26-day “moving picket line” after a week when hundreds of their own pilots and flight attendants crossed picket lines in the six-month labor dispute.
Charles E. Bryan, leader of Eastern’s Machinists Union, joined Henry A. Duffy, president of the Air Line Pilots Assn., and some 300 people at a morning rally across the street from Eastern corporate headquarters. They then began a campaign that union officials said will reach 13 states with a series of parades, motorcades and rallies.
