Humble OCAW Talks To Resume At Plant
The Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers Union and Humble Oi and Refining Co officials will return to the bargaining table at 1 p.m. Wednesday at the plant to continue contract talks begun in January. Union chairman J. T. Dickerson said union requests for more job security remain unfulfilled as members rejected Humble's counterproposal last week. The main issue is Humble contracting maintenance and construction work that could be handled with company equipment or by OCAW, and opposition to outsiders doing work eligible for OCAW. The old contract is extended three days to 4 p.m. Monday, April 9, with federal mediator James C. Hubbard attending the Wednesday session.
