New approach to plant management at Specialty
ANNE EISENMENGER reports that North Bennington man Robert C. Wagner plans to reorganize Specialty Insulation Manufacturing Co. as a semi cooperative plant with worker committees to determine pay raises and benefits. He will pay all workers on a salaried basis and retain veto power while seeking broader employee involvement, aiming to blur salaried hourly lines and rehire most of the 30 workers at Catamount Manufacturing.
