NAUGATUCK (AP) –Pickets at the Uniroyal plant were getting wet in Monday’s rainy and snowy weather.
Company officials inside the plant discussed the situation, then offered some rain gear — one of the firm’s products — to the pickets.
But the strikers ignored the move. A union official arrived with a dozen newly purchased umbrellas.
Some 5,500 workers are on strike.
