Independent Union To
Continue Protest Before
Nat. Labor Board
-ft!
: - r lV> f i s »
Approximately all of the strik­ing
employees already are back at
their jobs and production has re­turned
to a normal basis, Animal
Trap Company officials explained
today.
The nearly-a-anonth-long strike
called by heads o<f the UE-CIO
union at the Trap Company in
February, oaime to an abrupt end
last Saturday when telegrams
were setn to company officials by
the union heads following a meet­ing.
So far this week no conferences
were held or scheduled to be held
between the union heads and the
management although negotiations
started last November following
a company election are expected
to be resumed in the near future.
(Members of an independent
union which continued working
throughout the strike and which
claims to have a majority of the
employees, indicated it would con­tinue
its protest before the Nat­ional
Labor Relations Board and
to ask for a new election.
This protest is being pushed by
Meirno Rohrer, local attorney, who
in a previous appearance before
NLRB officials, termed the re­fusal
to permit an election at this
time as an injustice to the maj­ority
of the workers at the local
plant. .
