Zenner Gives New Picture Of His Talk to Employes
D. R. Zenner, plant manager and vice-president of McBee Co, testified at the National Labor Relations Board hearing that Franzs dismissal stemmed from a poor business period and company layoff rules rather than union activity. He said outside hires were temporary and apprentices would be kept on as long as work exists, and that no discrimination occurred. He described his Sept 17 talk to department workers aimed at harmony and denied coercive intent, noting he ordered no union meetings on company time and later tore up a union notice.
