The three Locals of the United Rubber Workers in the borough maintained their teams of picketers at the gates of the struck UniRoyal plants today, Picketing is being conducted in a quite orderly fashion with no incidents reported. White collar workers of UniRoyal continue to pass in and out of the gates across the lines, maintaining their regular work schedules.
Trucks have been permitted in and out of the Elm St. gate to the warehouse. Some Teamster Union truck drivers, however, have refused to cross the lines. It has been noted that several of the trucks coming to the warehouse are driven by officials of the trucking concerns doing business with UniRoyal.
Surprise Move
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., (UPI) – Teamsters boss James R. Hoffa made a surprise move Thursday by refusing to let any Teamster trucks cross a picket line set up by striking United Rubber Workers at a UniRoyal tire plant in Chattanooga.
PRINCIPALS in yesterday’s action in Superior Court in Waterbury talked over the situation in the lobby of the County Courthouse after Judge Leo V. Gaffney continued for two weeks the UniRoyal petition for an injunction and restraining order against the United Rubber Workers Union. Left to right are Atty. Dwight Fanton, UniRoyal Counsel; Raymond Mengacci, vice-president of Local 45, URW; and Atty. Daniel Baker, counsel for the union.
