Borden Mills faces TWOC charges over company union formation
John A. Peel regional TWOC director says Borden Mills in Atlanta faced two charges of forming and encouraging a company union in violation of Wagner Act. A separate agreement with the Borden Mills Employes Association gave exclusive bargaining rights to the union, while TWOC asserts continued majority support among workers. The board's action is expected this week as officials note ongoing labor tensions at the plant.
