Labor Board Finds Union Proper Bargaining Agency For Reidsville Plant
National Labor Relations Board supervision led to 471 of 487 ballots cast by 936 eligible workers voting for Local 192 of the Tobacco Workers International Union at American Tobacco Company’s Reidsville North Carolina plant. The board declared the union a proper bargaining agency, though company cooperation was denied. Forty seven machinists were barred from voting after union representation. The bargaining unit covers cigarette making employees packing shipping and production roles excluding supervisory and maintenance staff. The company stance and future recognition remain uncertain amid long running anti union hostility.
