"The fact that a company of Whittaker's stature has decided to relocate their corporate headquarters to Simi Valley and increase their presence here is very exciting for everyone," Stratton said in a news release. Whittaker manufactures fuel valves and safety systems for virtually all airplanes and jet engines made in the United States, Brancati said. Whittaker first moved to Simi Valley in 1984 and manufacturers electronic devices there.

Brancati said the company has hired two local contractors and will spend about $1 million renovating one of its three Simi Valley buildings for corporate suites. Brancati, 59, said the company is moving away from defense electronic products and into telecommunication processing equipment. "We spent $20 million on telecommunications last year," he said. Brancati said Whittaker reported sales of $127 million last year and a net income of $10.6 million, up from $9.3 million in 1993. means more to Simi Valley than the 25 jobs.

The transfer of a $127-million-a-year company traded on the New York Stock Exchange will bolster the city's image and help with business recruiting, officials said. "I think the fact that a major corporation wants to relocate here makes a good statement for the city," said Don Penman, assistant city manager in charge of economic development. Penman said Ventura County in general, and Simi Valley in particular, can expect more relocations as corporations based in Los Angeles look to cut costs and work more closely with local government officials. "It is cheaper to do business here," Penman said. "And they can call the mayor or the city manager and get an immediate response." The Simi Valley Chamber of Commerce had a similar response.

"I certainly think it is prestigious that they have chosen Simi Valley," Chamber President Ron Meek said. And Mayor Greg Stratton Animation Cartoonist years, Eleanor Silverman.

Some of the assembly line workers say they have suffered bladder infections because they have been forbidden from going to the bathroom when they need to, according to the federal complaints.

Many of the women say they have resorted to wearing diapers, sanitary napkins and other forms of protection in case they failed to make it to the bathroom. Nabisco officials have denied the allegations. Many of the employees who have filed federal complaints against Nabisco are seasonal workers who have been with the company for more than 20 years. And many said they even took their complaints to the local Teamsters Union, but were told nothing could be done because bathroom regulations are a matter of company policy.

But he pledged to support the women's fight against the company. "What you're really dealing with is how an employer treats its people," Dennison said in that in-" terview. "This is crazy. We'll go as far as striking them if we have to." Lawyers in Oxnard and Chicago who are preparing the class-action suit against the company say they welcome the Teamsters' involvement.

But they note that the union is a potential defendant in the lawsuit. "We are very pleased that the union is now taking an aggressive position with respect to this longstanding problem," said Paul Strauss, who is with a Chicago law firm helping put together the suit.
