Union remains unhappy with shipyard BY PETER DUJARDIN, Hampton Roads Daily Press, VA
'We're not happy with their proposals,' said Local 8888's president, Alton H. Glass Sr., flanked by other union negotiators.
'The proposals that they have laid out are inadequate. They are not progressive, and they are not acceptable at this point.'
The contract between the Steelworkers, which represent 8,500 workers at the shipyard, and Northrop Grumman Newport News, a maker of aircraft carriers and submarines for the Navy, expires at midnight June 6.
