Delaware Utility Workers End StrikeJuly 6, 2010
Members of Wilmington, Del., Local 1238 narrowly approved a tentative agreement with Delmarva Power on June 29 and are returning to work this morning.“We gained some things and lost some things, but in the end more people will be covered by the benefits in the agreement,” said Local 1238 Business Manager Paul Simon. More than 700 members of Wilmington, Del., Local 1238 went out on their first-ever strike against Delmarva Power and Conectiv Energy June 18. Delmarva and Conectiv serve customers in Delaware and in parts of Eastern Maryland and New Jersey. Members of Local 1238, which include linemen, power plant workers, mechanics and clerical staff at the utilities, have been working under a contract extension since February 1.
