NLRB Orders Bur Mill to Reinstate Mead at Randleman Plant
The National Labor Relations Board ordered Burlington Mills Corporation to reinstate W. W. Mead at the Randleman North Carolina hosiery plant with full seniority rights and back pay from April 17, 1948. The order also requires Mead to be restored after unlawful discharge and for the company to post a noninterference notice, finding coercive actions to deter union activity. Trial Examiner Robert L. Piner’s report, reviewing a postwar shift from rayon to nylon yarn that hurt knitter income, is upheld.
