Davis Denies Involvement in Jones Ridge Walkout
Davis says he resigned as business agent of Common Laborers Local 160 last week after Evan Dale demanded removal or charter revocation. Dale, head of the Southern District council, says the walkout at Jones Ridge followed a strike over five overdue paychecks to Local 160 workers erecting 40 grain storage bins for the Production and Marketing administration. Davis admits he would have ordered the men off if aware of the payroll delay. He still serves as Local 160 secretary treasurer and denies responsibility for the strike.
