NAUGATUCK– Negotiations between the United Rubber Workers and Uniroyal, Inc. resume Tuesday at 10 a.m. in Cincinnati, Ohio, as the strike against the three local plants moves into its 25th day.
The current strike is the longest since the 22-day old walkout in 1959.
Union and management negotiators returned to their homes over the week end after talks were recessed Friday.
Quiet is the report from the local scene where picket line turmoil of early May days has given way to court directed non-interference with the movements both pedestrian and vehicular of supervisory and non-union personnel.
Shipment of goods resumed last week without apparent incident other than the refusal of some truck drivers to cross the picket lines to enter the strike-bound plants.
Quiet prevailed this morning, too, as supervisors and office employes go back on the job, some arriving possibly an hour earlier than the customary 8 a.m.
At least one supervisor reported being notified to start work at 7 a.m. today, but the reason for the earlier start could not be determined Sunday night or this morning.
The company and union are negotiating the master contract which concerns all 19 plants of Uniroyal throughout the country. About 7,000 workers in the borough are affected by the strike.
