Ten Years of Local 347 Marked by Growth and Unity
United Food Workers Local 347 plans a 10th anniversary at Municipal Auditorium with about 2,500 members from West Virginia and nearby states. The rite marks a decade of growth since Huntington formation in 1944 from seven members, now in 165 establishments, mostly Kroger and A&P, with pay standards four times the 1944 average and no work stoppages. The event includes a closed session and an open public meeting as talk swirls about coal companies forming nonunion outfits amid Kentucky coal country tensions.
