In a damning indictment of previous management at the Avondale
shipyard in New Orleans, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB)
has ordered the shipbuilder to rehire 22 workers fired illegally
during a bitter seven-year battle for union representation at the
yard. Judge Phillip McLeod ordered Avondale to repay 5.4 million
dollars in legal fees charged to the US Navy during the anti-union
drive, to make good lost wages to numerous other employees
illegally suspended or disciplined, and to pay medical expenses to
a worker hurt performing a job to which he was illegally
transferred. The eight-year-long case is one of the last remaining
legacies of a bitter war over the right to union representation at
Avondale that became a lightning rod for union-management struggles
nationwide. The peace was finally made in late 1999, when Litton
Industries took over the yard and agreed to remain neutral on the
issue. The Metal Trades Department was duly reaffirmed as the
workers' bargaining agent. Litton was subsequently taken over in
its turn by US defense giant Northrop Grumman. A Metal Trades
Department attorney meanwhile, termed it a clear vindication of the
workers' charges of massive harassment and illegal treatment,
