Unions Meet With Northrop-Grumman. Mediator In Strike Talks

By Doug Cunningham

The Pascalouga, Mississippi Metal Trades Council and the IBEW met with Northrop Grumman representatives and a federal mediator Monday in an effort to settle a strike at the Ingalls Navy shipyard. About 7,000 workers are on strike after rejecting contract proposals. The workers want better health care benefits and higher wages. They say living costs have skyrocketed for them in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Health care benefits for the striking workers officially ended over the weekend. The workers build ship for the U.S. Navy.
