Rumblings of walkout hit NASSCO By Michael Kinsman
Union workers threatened yesterday to strike San Diego shipbuilder NASSCO after 10 months of labor talks failed to reach agreement on a new contract.
An estimated 300 members of the Shipyard Workers Union rallied at the end of their shift after the union's executive board voted to strike 'at any time.' The union represents 1,700 workers, or about 57 percent of shipyard employees.
'We will strike when it is most advantageous for us to do so,' said Robert Godinez, union president. 'The company doesn't respect us. They are willing to pay more to bring people from other states than pay us a higher wage.'------------------------------------------- posted 6:26 AM :: reference link ::
