A tentative agreement was reached between United Auto Workers representatives and the LTV Corp.’s Aerospace & Defense Division about four hours after 3,600 workers walked off the job. Picket signs had gone up as planned at LTV’s Dallas defense plant and another facility in nearby Grand Prairie. Union spokesman David Perdue said the company “met most of our demands.” The union has wanted LTV to abolish a two-tiered wage scale that lets the company hire new workers at lower wages than called for in the old contract.
