Injunction Dissolved Against City Pickets
Raleigh County Circuit Court Judge Norman Knapp dissolved the November injunction restraining six Acme Market former employees from picketing Valley Drive. The order required a $1,000 bond and cited costs and damages to be paid if the injunction dissolved. Defendants argued the bond was not posted and the temporary injunction was dissolved without bond. The suit, brought by Beckley Acme Market and Local 347 affiliated with Amalgamated Meat Cutters, alleged coercion and unfair labor practices linked to a Union 347 representation dispute and claimed employees were fired for union membership.
