Noble balked at the strike deadline extension, however, saying most union members would have rejected it if put to a vote.

Noble said he or other local leaders did not extend the deadline and will meet today with union officials to learn whether a strike Monday is still possible. An office manager at Parsippany Dental care said a strike wouldn't affect business, and patients would still have Delta Dental coverage. "The mail still goes on if the post office goes on strike," the manager said. "People don't stop sending mail." Local 332 workers in 1996 narrowly voted to forego once usual 6 percent annual pay raises for 3 percent yearly pay hikes after company officials said larger raises would return with increased income, Noble said.
