Detroit strike
lingers on as
talks break off;
convention looms
DETROIT (UPI)-Talks between the
city and striking municipal workers
broke off yesterday, heightening
worries about next week's Republican
National Convention, but union leaders
made a new contract offer soon after-
ward.
State labor officials who were serving
as go-between in the marathon
negotiating session suspended the talks
indefinitely at around 'noon, saying in
exasperation that neither side ap-
peared willing to move.

Municipal Employees submitted a new
proposal just three hours later, its
seventh during the 10-day walkout that
has halted buses and garbage collec-
tion.
No details were immediately
available on the new union offer.
The breakdown in talks came just
hours after review of a new city con-
tract offer and a union counterproposal
prompted expressions of optimism set-
tlement of the dispute might be near.
The city, however, rejected the coun-
teroffer from AFSCME, and it became
apparent to mediators the session was
going nowhere.
Mayor Coleman Young, who called
the latest AFSCME proposal
"ridiculous," insisted he will not allow
an ongoing strike to tarnish the GOP
convention, which opens Monday.
Young, who maintained the city is
"broke" and cannot meet union
demands, Wednesday called the latest
city proposal his "final offer."
