A strike by metal workers was banned through a 60 day suspension but unions report the ban is still in place.
A strike ban in the metal industry earlier this year is still in place and may lead to the dispute being forced into arbitration. In January this year, as reported in the newsletter, a strike by metal workers was banned through a 60 day suspension. The 60 day period expired on 21 March, but unions report the ban is still in place. The continued ban is a particular problem, because it will lead to the conflict going into forced arbitration.
