NLBR Ruling Denies Certification for TWOC and BMEA
The National Labor Relations Board ruled neither the Textile Workers Organizing Committee nor the Borden Mills Employes Association were certified as the mill’s bargaining agent and ordered non election procedures. The decision overturned recognition of the BNA, barred attempts to discourage TWOC membership, and reinstated discharged employees Heath and Obsher. The board ordered a future election to determine TWOC majority support, while upholding the mill’s rights in other personnel matters and denying influence by several named individuals with the plant. Local officials were unavailable for comment as the ruling was digested and next steps awaited.
