Litton has plants in California, Mississippi, Indiana, New York, Minnesota, South Dakota, Con necticut, Illinois, and Alabama. Litton spokesman Ray Noble expressed little surprise at the de signation, saying the firm has had a long-standing disagreement with some unions, but said “We don’t feel good about it, of course.” “Our attitude is not one of un ion-busting. It is one of econo mics,” Noble said. “If we shut down and move a plant, it is not due to union-busting or labor strife.” Procter & Gamble was cited for the failure of its Soap Division to reach agreement on a contract with the United Steelworkers un ion.
