Union Dispute Halts Work At Naval Factory
A 25 member strike by local 812 of the AFL International Association of Machinists halted work at the U S naval ordnance plant on Raffid SW just hours before an NLRB hearing on sole bargaining rights for the plant. Four hundred fifty construction workers and 465 production workers joined a sympathy walkout. The dispute centers on claims seven men were undermining the union and whether they should be dismissed or transferred. Local 804 seeks certification as bargaining agent for the entire plant, claiming about 80 percent of the workforce. The hearing before Trial Examiner Josef Hektoen began amid standstill negotiations under federal supervision.
