It’s back to the negotiating table for 8,500 New York power workers and management Sunday after union employees were locked out early Sunday. The workers are trying to strike a pension deal with the company, and has hinted in negotiations that the company’s more than 3 million customers in New York City and the surrounding areas may have trouble getting electricity without the union labor. The union’s collective-bargaining agreement with the company expired late Saturday night, but both sides say they want to hash out a deal soon.
