Intended to start production in the Footwear plants. Following two mornings in which the pickcts sought to keep supervisory personnel outside the plant by mass picketing, UniRoyal attempted to obtain a restraining order from Waterbury Superior Court.
Judge Leo Gaffney postponed the injunction for two two-week periods as long as orderly picketing was conducted at the gates.
The officials of Local 45 have ordered peaceful picketing of its members and have allowed white collar workers to pass through the lines as well as trucks to go in and out of the warehouse gate without incident.
Local 218 became disturbed last week when they were faced with the same situation. UniRoyal again sought an injunction against that local Friday.
A “show cause” hearing has been scheduled for Thursday in Waterbury Superior Court by Judge Gaffney.
Officials of Local 218 claimed that “inaccurate statements were made by the factory manager of the Chemical Co. plant,” in relation to the management’s decision to use supervisory personnel to operate process equipment at the plant.
