Testimony Begins In NLRB Hearing Involving Page Aircraft
John Woodward testified as the first government witness in an NLRB hearing over alleged unfair labor practices by Page Aircraft Co. The International Association of Machinists Local 389 initiated the complaint after a strike since August. Woodward said Page assumed maintenance duties for the Army contract on Aug 1, with Spartan’s contract extended to July. He noted Page hired about 250 former Spartan workers and now employs 232, while Spartan neared 400 near contract end. The case questions whether Page bargained with the machinists union.
