Eagle Square Strike Ends Over Seniority Rights
Production at Eagle Square Mfg Co. resumed Friday night after a settlement with Local 645 of the Upholsterers International Union. About 85 percent of the workforce were on a wildcat strike Thursday morning over seniority in filling vacancies. The company and union agreed to a contract provision increasing seniority's role and a union committee would participate in vacancy decisions. The strike ended as the two sides outlined a new vacancy procedure with union involvement and management retaining initial applicant selection. Some workers were expected back Friday night with more to return today.
