Naugatuck police arrested four union pickets today, including a Seymour resident, as supervisory personnel at Uniroyal Co. filed through picket lines to begin production.
Company management had notified representatives of Local 45, United Rubber Workers of America, Monday that production would be begun today by supervisory personnel.
Edward Alvares, president of URW Local 308, warned of the possibility of danger in having supervisory personnel, unfamiliar with procedures, working in production at the chemical plant.
Safety Precautions
Company officials said safety precautions were being taken.
About 100 pickets were on duty in front of the Naugatuck plant today when about 150 supervisory employees went to work.
Twelve policemen were on duty and arrested four pickets on charges of breach of peace, including Anthony Gambardella of 53 Birchwood Road, Seymour.
Two pickets were carried away.
Negotiations between management and the union are taking place in Cincinnati. They were scheduled to resume today.
