Striking
shipyard worker Michael Guthrie, of Hampton, a maintenance mechanic at
the yard for 20 years, looks over provisions in the tentative agreement
outside the Hampton University Convocation Center Friday afternoon. As
his co-workers held their copies of the agreement, they discussed what
they felt were shortcomings in the proposal. "Overall it's a pretty good
contract, except that it's for 58 months," Guthrie tells his fellow strikers.
He said the length of the contract will keep him from voting yes. He said
he would vote for a 48 month contract though.
