Deadline Set For Shop Committees To List Personnel
The cold spell snapped the spirit of members of Local Union 124 Tuesday evening, but not to the extent that there were not enough members on hand for a quorum. Margaret Curley presided in the absence of President Clair Armstrong who is working on the night shift, and wielded the gavel in the fashion of a professional auctioneer, hurrying things along, but overlooking nothing in the way of official business to be disposed of.
A complaint regarding the apprentices in the color room at the Hall China Co. was discussed and referred to a committee to take the matter up with the firm.
Shop committees have been notified to file a list of the personnel of their respective committees with the Local not later than our next meeting on Feb. 11. Failure to comply with this request will result in new committees being named and the members duly bound to serve until June 1st.
It is now a part of our agreement to furnish all firms with the names of all those serving on shop committees on their respective plants. This will tend to expedite settlement of grievances on the plants and eliminate work stoppages when disputes arise.
