Auto Workers Local 392 Forms National Trailer Council
Auto Workers Local 392 and Trailmobile locals in Cleveland discussed creating a national Trailer Council similar to the General Motors Council to coordinate the Trailmobile union on a nationwide basis. The council plans to start within 60 days as a dispute with the Teamsters AFL Local 100 over drivers’ jurisdiction was resolved.
