Thanksgiving Turkey Gift Honored At Wood River Refinery
Local No. 558 officers report Wood River Oil & Refining Co gave each worker a Thanksgiving turkey. Two new hires received turkeys, prompting praise from workers. A formal appreciation letter was drafted with signatures from the union. Negotiations continue at Western Cartridge Co. A November 24 meeting produced limited progress on wage talks, with a bid to raise two to five cents. Dr. Cross notes Illinois cancer diagnostics funding and patients benefiting from state clinics, while union opposition to a union shop clause remains. The Turner Hall meeting site may relocate and members are urged to monitor the column for updates.
