Court Quashes Complaints Against Union Leader
Three more criminal complaints against Basil D. French of Concord charging him with interfering with drivers’ earning opportunities were dismissed in Manchester Municipal Court. French faces a further appearance Monday on related charges as his attorney argued the counts lacked specific detail. A Quinn Freight Lines employee’s attorney said he must reveal evidence before trial to avoid witness intimidation. The complaints allege French caused changes to Quinn’s seniority list affecting about 35 veterans and 70 part timers after Stackpole Trucking Co. acquisition. A Quinn group plans a Sunday meeting to discuss a possible strike against Quinn Freight Lines.
