AKRON, Ohio, May 25 (AP) –A campaign against the purchase of products made by three struck rubber companies is being conducted by the United Rubber Workers.
The companies struck by the union April 20 when contracts expired are Uniroyal, B. F. Goodrich Company, and the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company. Workers at the General Tire and Rubber and Goodyear Tire and Rubber plants are working on a day-to-day basis while contract negotiations continue.
Peter Bommarito, union president, said Wednesday union members on strike against the three companies would be stationed at dealer stores with posters asking customers not to buy their products.
