Protest Over Transfer of Western Electric Workers
The Communications Workers of America seeks a restraining order to stop Western Electric from transferring Burlington plant workers to Winston-Salem to fill vacancies. Local 3060 claims a five month old April 5 agreement requires Winston-Salem vacancies be filled first by local layoffs before Burlington hires. 87 workers from Burlington have been hired, with 80 more reportedly to come. Judge Robert A. Collier set a hearing for next Wednesday.
