Notes: "Nearly 100% of Triple A workers refused to cross the picket line yesterday. Muni drivers and Teamsters honored the line and the yard was effectively shut down. The firemen are striking to win recognition of their union, which is the first step towards improving their wages and benefits ($3.75/hour; 56 hour week-no overtime pay; no medical or retirement plan)."
