Union President Denies Harassment Charges in Bluefield Strike
Paul Baker of Local 647 Princeton testified in a contempt of court hearing denying harassment during the Bluefield National Electric Coil strike. The case centers on violations of a temporary injunction restricting violence and limited picketing. Witnesses described two rear-end collisions with Baker’s car by non-striking workers within minutes of each other, which Baker said were coincidental. The defense seeks dismissal, but Judge Wagner ruled the matter criminal in nature and not subject to dismissal by agreement. The strike began Feb 4 and was settled in Columbus, Ohio, with about 125 workers involved.
