Resolution 11902 RESOLUTION NO. 11902
WHEREAS, the current strike halting the operations of
major air lines throughout the nation has had, and is having
intensified and aggravated impact upon the City of Miami
Beach, the Greater Miami Area, and the entire State of
Florida, because of its tourist economy; and
WHEREAS, said strike has caused the laying off of
thousands of employees, not only in the airlines industry, but
also in hotels, restaurants and other allied businesses, with
consequent loss, deprivation, or substantial curtailment of
income by way of salaries or wages, with attendant loss to
not only the merchants, but to the entire economic fabric of
the community; and
WHEREAS, the foregoing damage is further compounded by
the loss of income to the entire community occasioned by the
drastic diminution in the number of tourists coming to this
area as a result of said strike; and
WHEREAS, by reason of the foregoing, it is an incontro-
vertible and demonstrable fact that an economic emergency does
now exist in the City of Miami Beach, the Greater Miami Area
and the State of Florida, which emergency will develop into
an economic crisis if the said strike is further prolonged;
and
WHEREAS, the damage caused by the continuance of said
strike is not of a temporary or transitory nature, but will have
permanent effects for years to come if the said strike is not
• terminated forthwith;
NOW, THEREFORE; BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH that all parties, including labor,
industry and government, participating in negotiations for the
settlement of said strike are earnestly requested to take
immediate cognizance of the existing economic emergency
occasioned by said labor dispute, and are urgently implored to
exert every extraordinary effort to bring said dispute to a
conclusion immediately, or, in the alternative, to devise ways
and means to restore forthwith the air lines to an operational
status, pending settlement negotiations.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that copies of this resolution be
transmitted forthwith to the President of the United States,
the Secretary of Labor, to the United States Senators from
the State of Florida, SPESSARD HOLLAND and GEORGE SMATHERS,
