Show Notes
Hundreds of workers at General Dynamics Bath Iron Works in Maine, a historic Navy shipyard, have walked off the job, rejecting the companys wage proposal. The union, representing over six hundred workers, argues for a better deal due to the companys profits and increased military operations in Iran. Bath Iron Works offers a ten percent raise the first year and four percent each of the next three. Both sides claim sincere bargaining, but no agreement has been reached. The strike, ongoing in rainy cold weather, affects key roles like engineering and testing, delaying the production of Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, the Navys main surface fighters.
