A union representing 16 bus mechanics, radio technicians and warehouse workers at Denali National Park say the employees have gone on strike.
IBEW Local 1547 spokeswoman Melinda Taylor says employees are
walking off the job Wednesday afternoon. That occurred when wage
and pension negotiations broke down with the employer, Doyon/ARAMARK Joint Venture.
The strike occurs as the national park prepares for the busy July Fourth weekend.
The company has said it had a contingency plan in place to keep the buses moving if a strike were called.
