NAUGATUCK— Negotiations on the master contract between United Rubber Workers Union and Uniroyal resumed Tuesday in Cincinnati, but due to the agreement between the two groups, no news of progress could be received when negotiators were contacted in Cincinnati Tuesday night. Negotiations will continue today.
The contract between the URW and General Tire Co. expired Monday night, but at that time an agreement was made to continue production at the firm on a day-to-day basis. A settlement at General Tire or any of the other four firms could affect the outcome of negotiations between the union and the firms still talking.
Activity in the borough remains quiet, although Uniroyal is shipping during the day. Local 45 pickets who were on 24-hour picket duty since May 3 resumed 12-hour picketing Monday following an agreement with management that no shipping would be done after 6 p.m.
