General Shale Plant Workers Walk Out After Talks Fail
About 125 General Shale Products workers in Johnson City left the plant at 11 am Wednesday after contract talks with United Stone and Allied Products Workers of America broke down. Similar walkouts were reported at Kingsport and Knoxville plants, though Kingsport reported no trouble and Knoxville said operations continued. A Johnson City spokesman said the stoppage was not a strike but a delay pending negotiations, while a company official warned talks would not resume until workers returned. Pickets appeared in the afternoon and a non striking worker was moved from the site.
