UNION STRIKES CONTRACTOR IN MARION

Members of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners have voted 499-43 to go on strike against Brunswick Corp., a major Marion defense contractor.

Brunswick had offered a 7 percent wage increase over three years in its new contract proposal, and the union was seeking 7 percent a year for a total of 21 percent over three years.

The vote to go on strike came during the weekend. About 800 of Brunswick's more than 1,000 employees belong to the union and would be affected by the strike.
