Salmon strike due Friday Salmon tendermen were expect- ed to strike Friday in a dispute that could rapidly bring the whole of the industry to a stand- stil. The tendermen, who work on the fish packers carrying the catch from the grounds, voted last month 80 percent in favor of strike action. Strike was scheduled for Fri- day following rejection by the Union negotiating committee of a last minute company offer of a two-year contract with a $10 wage boost this vear and $10 next year.. Union men are holding out for the full $30 and seniority rights. Fishermen'on the grounds have been requested by the union to stop delivering fish to the ten- ders as of August 6 and shore- workers will not handle packer fish after Monday, August. 9. This could result in rapid paraly- sis of the salmon fleet. Meanwhile a government-super- vised strike vote among shore- workers is to go ahead.
