Blue Onion Seeks Union Injunction in Local Picketing
Richard Longmire, owner of Blue Onion Drive-In at 2100 F. Fremont St, filed in U S District Court for an injunction against Local 226 of the Culinary Workers Union and Local 165 of the Bartenders Union. Abigail Siegel of the NLRB said the petition seeks relief for one year or until the NLRA charge is resolved. Longmire says picketing began after his employees rejected union representation in 1968 and that the former contract was unsuitable for a drive‑in operation.
