JCP&L strike ends, but anger remains BY TOM JOHNSON, Newark Star Ledger, NJ
After 98 days on the picket line, more than 1,300 members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers returned to work Wednesday, ending the longest strike ever at the state's second- largest electric utility. Many remain angry, frustrated and unsure about their future with the utility.
Mending fences and repairing an already strained relationship between the union and FirstEnergy, the utility's parent, will take hard work, time and concerted efforts by both sides in the dispute, according to labor experts.
'Overcoming bad feelings on both sides of a labor dispute is a lot like betrayal in marriage,' said Allen Steinmetz, chief executive of Inward Strategic Consulting, a Massachusetts firm.
