Court-named worker panel opposes Rath contract cancellation bid
A panel representing Rath Packing Co. employees and rooted in both union and non union groups filed a motion against canceling the contract with United Food and Commercial Workers Union. The panel argues cancellation would hinder reorganization, hurt morale, and ignore mismanagement as the core problem. They request delaying a hearing to March 1 to gather evidence, while noting the company loses about $250,000 weekly and would suffer further delays. Workers now earn $7.24 hourly with a planned rise to $10.24 by December 31, while the union floated a revised offer of $8.24 hourly plus a June 1985 50 cent bump.
