Con Edison and union workers head back to talks

Posted: Updated:

NEW YORK (AP) - Consolidated Edison Inc. and the union representing its employees are getting back to the negotiating table.

Talks resume Tuesday afternoon. They took a break over the weekend.

Negotiations between the power company and Local 1-2 of the Utility Workers of America have been going on for weeks.

The contract for the union's 8,500 members expired at midnight on June 30.

Con Edison has more than 3 million customers and has been using managers in the field in place of the union members.
