The Region - News from Nov. 24, 1985

Talks between supermarket management representatives and striking meat cutters and Teamsters broke off with little progress made and no new negotiations scheduled as the strike entered its 19th day, sources close to the bargaining sessions reported. About 22,000 Teamster drivers and 10,000 meat cutters in Southern California, members of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union, are on strike against Vons and are locked out by six other market chains. Meanwhile, meat cutters in Northern California narrowly voted to reject a management offer amid reports that the strike may spread there.
