HIDDEN VALLEY LAKE, Calif. Representatives of Local 324 of the Laborers International Union have begun a fourth week of picketing against the Hidden Valley Lake Association in front of the community's golf course.
Spokespeople from both sides appeared no closer to agreement on the issues of:
Take home pay of more than $12 for the 13 strikers involved;
A disagreement over out-of-pocket health insurance; and
An association demand for a $1.95 reduction in health and welfare benefits, and payment of a greater out-of-pocket health care by employees.
HVLA management, meantime, has charged that the union is engaging in illegal actions during the strike, the most egregious being attempts by the pickets are attempting to cause secondary boycotts by other companies when they try to deliver goods and services to the Hidden Valley Lake community; and that the union is permissible picketing on private property.
Asked about these charges, union representative Maggie Campbell asserted They (companies) will not cross the picket line.
