Union Won’t Molest Fruit Men Of State
In Charlottesville on April 2, Dan Anderson of the Richmond truck drivers union said the union would not interfere with Virginia growers hauling fruit in their own trucks to the Richmond market. The agreement settles a dispute with the Virginia Horticultural Society over unloading at two unionized Richmond grocery warehouses. Union policy exempts bona fide farmers delivering their own produce, while opposing unfair for hire contract haulers. Readings show farmers and union and Society reps at a conference arranged by Labor Commissioner Morton to resolve complaints about charges and deliveries.
