Striking Detroit
workers aided

DETROIT-More than 1,00 demon-
strators from 17 unions, including
police officers and firefighters,
picketed city offices yesterday in sup-
port of the nine-day-old strike by their
fellow municipal workers.
Meanwhile, bargaining resumed and
negotiators reported progress toward
ending the walkout by 9,000 of the city's
23,000 city workers which has halted
garbage pickups and bus service in
Detroit.,
NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN the
city and members of Council 25 of the
American Federation of State, County
and Municipal Employees (AFSCME)
resumed at about 11 a.m.-just six
hours after an overnight session broke
off.
It marked the first time in the lengthy
talks that the two sides returned to the
bargaining table without a 12-hour
break. The negotiations were moved
from city offices to a state-owned
building.
Mayor Coleman Young has urged the
workers to return before the start next
Monday of the Republican National
Convention, which is expected to bring
28,000 people into the city. Republican
platform committees began work here
Monday.
Tom Turner, president of the
Metropolitan Detroit AFL-CIO Council,
said negotiations have reached a tur-
ning point. He said he expected a "new
offer" from the city that would differ
somewhat from the agreement reached
Tuesday night with 1,200 non-striking
Teamsters.
The proposed Teamsters pact called
for annual wage boosts and cost-of-
living increases amounting to about 40
cents an hour.
"They (the Teamster bargainers)
apparently accepted the city's position
that there is no money," said Mark
Ulicny, the city's top negotiator. Ulicny
said he hopes other city unions will ac-
cept similar settlementa.
