War Labor Board Told to Review LaPlant-Choate Dispute
Negotiations between La Plant-Choate Manufacturing and Local No. 116 of the United Farm Equipment Workers collapsed again. Union President Keith Churchill says the company refused wage concessions and union shop terms, and the union asked the War Labor Board to issue a ruling.
