NLRB Sets Hearing on GU Unfair Labor Practices
The National Labor Relations Board has issued a complaint against Globe Union Inc. Bermingtion plant alleging unfair labor practices. A hearing is scheduled for July 7 at 10 a.m. at the Bennington County Courthouse before an NLRB trial examiner. The UAW AFL-CIO and Local 1371 allege bargaining failures and unilateral wage actions in early 1966. Globe Battery Division unit at the Bennington plant disputes the charges, calling them technical and trying to delay negotiations. Edward Ross, Globe Labour Relations head, says the investigation was mishandled and seeks reconsideration with the NLRB.

Dorset Resort Scheme Tangled by Court Case
Frederick W. Tetzlaff of Dorset filed a bill in Bennington County Court against Christopher Swezey Jr., George B. Breen, and Thomas Martin of Manchester. Dorset Associates Inc. aimed to develop Dorset Hollow with lands to be sold or leased for skiing and development, but investors failed to fund 2500 shares at $1 each and arbitration was avoided. The suit seeks to release Tetzlaff from Dorset Associates and remove any cloud on his land title. The defendants deny the charges.
