FindIoY Company
Rejects cIO-NLRE B

MANAGEMENT of the Differen-
tial Steel Car Co. Findlay,
whose plant has been under or
ganization by Ralph Brown, In
ternational UAW-CIO represen-
tative from the saff of Regional
Director Richard GOsser, not
only refused to met with ClO
representatives last week, but
informed the NLRB field exam
iner that they "coud get along
without the NLRB."
John Irving, NLRB field ex-
aminer, Cleveland, calling on
the Findlay company in pre-
liminary examination following
application of the UAW-CIO to
hold a plant election for bar
gaining agent, asked the COM
pany to meet with Assistant Re-
gional Director James Crowley
and international representative
Edward ]. Duck to discuss ini-
tial steps in setting up plant
bargaining agent.
Refused To Meet
Management representatives
said that under no conditions
would they meet with UAW-CIO
representatives and expressed
the view that they would not
stand for CIO organizing their
plant.
Having delivered their ulti-
matum and rejected meeting
with CIO the company officials
went all the way and told Mr..
Irving that they not only didn't
need CIO, but could get along
very we'll without the NLRB.
Having told off the field exam
iner, they practically held the
door open for him to depart
which he did without debate.
Charges of unfair labor prac-
tices are being filed against the
company by the international
regional office on three counts.
UAW-CIO has the plant 80
per cent organized.
