United Rubber Workers Without Contract Amid Sale Talks
About 200 United Rubber and Chemical Co. workers continue without a contract after the current agreement expired May 15. The Operating Engineers Union Baytown Local 347 approved a strike, with a unanimous strike vote reportedly in favor. A union spokesman said a negotiating committee will decide when a strike becomes effective, and the union seeks a general wage increase without specifying an amount. The international union has not yet sanctioned a strike. United Rubber was recently acquired by Ashland Oil Co., which is reportedly attempting to sell the plant.
