Wildcat Walk-Out Slows Oxford Paper Co Mill
A wild cat walk-out at the Oxford Paper Co mill in Rumford virtually shut down production. About 2,800 workers on a single shift were affected as the unauthorized strike spread from the super calendar and rewinder department to the paper machine construction crews and other units, halting operations within 40 minutes. Employer and union officials offered no exact count of participants. The stoppage followed alleged job combination and elimination complaints and an ultimatum over restoring a super calendar crew and removing industrial engineers.
