L-3 averts Nevada strike

A Fallon, Nevada, aircraft support services union ratified a new 5-year contract proposal Sept. 12 with L-3 Vertex Aerospace management, a government contractor that provides maintenance work for Navy squadrons at Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center at Fallon. IUE/CWA Local 89119’s membership averted a potential strike that could have affected Navy aviation maintenance operations across the entire Navy, according to local union President James Martens. Negotiations had been going on since Aug. 11.
