LAS VEGAS — More than 1,300 Nevada nuclear test site workers stayed off the job Tuesday in a show of support for striking bus drivers who transport them to the desert site 65 miles northwest of here.
Steve Leon, a spokesman for Reynolds Electrical & Engineering Co., one of the main contractors at the nation's nuclear testing grounds, said his company was reporting 1,300 absentees among its 2,600 employees. Energy Department spokesman Jim Boyer said most of the union workers are electricians, carpenters and laborers.
