Strike slows work at Dassault Wilmington
An impasse in negotiations by unionized workers and the Dassault Falcon Jet Wilmington, Del.

An impasse in negotiations by unionized workers and the Dassault Falcon Jet Wilmington, Del. facility remained unresolved at press time, leaving some 100 workers on strike. Contract negotiations broke down between the company and United Auto Workers Local 1542 on March 8, but they were scheduled to reopen on March 23 (for the latest, see “As We Go To Press” on page 3).

Previous contracts that started with the facility’s former owner, Atlantic Aviation, had gone back to 1992. They continued through Dassault Falcon Jet’s acquisition of the Atlantic Aviation assets at New Castle County Airport in 2000.
