Strike Closes Vermont Marble Plants in Rutland
About 600 Vermont Marble Co employees walked out after Sunday's vote by the Stone Workers and Allied Products Union over wages and a union shop. Union attorney Robert Manning says a 35 cent hourly hike and mandatory union membership are at issue. Works began with picket lines as federal mediation failed to produce a contract before expiry of a three year pact. Vermont Marble employs about 1,000 statewide and this marks the first strike in 30 years, with a 1936 background of sabotage and rioting in the last major walkout.

Deadlocked talks at Globe Union Bennington plant
Negotiations on a first contract between Globe Union Inc. Bennington plant management and Local 1371 of the United Auto Workers remain at impasse. Plant Manager James D Williams and UAW rep Martin Greenberg said little was accomplished at a recent bargaining session and no future meetings are scheduled. The NLRB findings on unfair labor practices could influence the stalemate, with a decision expected after a field exam. Last December workers voted to recognize the UAW as their representative.
