Acknowledging that his union's two-day strike failed to bring the city back to the bargaining table, the executive director of the Engineers and Architects Assn. told a labor rally Monday that he would seek an official sanction from the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor today for another strike. Robert Aquino, the union's executive director, which represents more than 7,500 Los Angeles city employees, did not seek such a sanction before the strike Aug. 22 and 23.
