Union representing Bowline workers sees strike as ‘likely’

July
24

Fifty-four workers at Mirant Corp’s Bowline electricity generating plant in West Haverstraw are likely to strike, the union representing the workers said today.

“As of right now we have nothing that we would recommend for ratification,” said a posting on the Web site of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 503, based in Monroe.

“We are presently waiting on many answers to proposals we have presented,” read the posting, directed at the rank-and-file workers.

“Your committee is doing everything we can to avoid a work stoppage, but unfortunately a strike looks immanent.” (sic)
