Judge Orders Nuclear Plant Strikers Back to Work
SEABROOK, N.H. — A federal judge Thursday ordered about 2,500 workers at the Seabrook nuclear plant to end their wildcat strike and return to their jobs.
U.S. District Judge James Watson issued a temporary injunction at the request of Seabrook management, which said the two-day walkout violated a national labor agreement on nuclear plant work.
Watson said workers who ignore the injunction could face contempt charges and be fined or jailed.
The walkout, which brought work on the Seabrook I reactor to a virtual standstill, apparently was in sympathy for laid-off workers.
