UNION REJECTS
PACKAGE PLAN
AT LOCAL PLANT
Negotiations To Be Resumed
In Effort To Reach Local
Agreements

Rejected" was the answer Of
Local 497 membership when the
proposed contract between the
Standard Products company and
the local union was submitted to
a membership vote at a special
meeting held in the armory last
Thursday afternoon. Similar re-
= lection was voted by members of
the st. Clair union at a special
meeting in st. Clair, Friday.
Thus, community hopes for five
years of amicable labor-manage-
ment relations at the local plant
temporarily collapsed, subject to
extended negotiations.
The company was officially no.
titled of the rejection Monday by
Bernard j. Young, international
representative, of Port Huron,
Mich, who was present at both
special meetings. He asked via
: telegram, Monday, that negotia-
tions be re-opened to resolve the
issues, and the company has
agreed to reopen negotiations
| While a date for this meeting had
not been mutually confirmed yes
terday, it appeared likely that it
might be early next week.
Under the proposed five-year
contract now rejected and NULL
fed, the company had offered a
10 cent per hour increase for the
first year, three cent per hour
automatic increase for each sue
/ ceeding year, retroactive in
crease from April 20 to July II
of this year, plus a quarterly
cost-of-living adjuStment provi-
sion.
According to "a Report to Our
Port Clinton Neighbors and To
All Standard Products Families" !"
page advertisement appearing
on page three of this issue of the
News, the proposed increases
would have cost the company an
extra $215,000 in the next year,
representing $180,0OO to the Por
Clinton division and $4,000 in the
st. Clair division. This figure is
said to represent more than one
half of the company's profit in
all five divisions during the past
year, as we'll as in the preceding
year.
Concluding his report to the
public, L. S. Larson, general man
ager of the Port Clinton division
says, "We do not have the an
swer, but we hope that it can be
found soon. We believe that part
of it must be supplied by our
people,"
Union Presidents Viewpoint
Questioned Wednesday by the
News as to why the union mem
bership had rejected the proposed
contract, President George Freeh
expressed his personal opinion
that it was because the proposed
contract was not close enough to
the General Motors contract, after
which it was partially patterned
II did not attempt to influence
them to accept or reject it," he
said, 81 just wanted to get THEN
reaction" In his opinion, the
contract was rejected because TIE
members want a "sweeter pack,
age". at wasn't quite juicy
enough" he explained.
Mr.. Freeh said he didn't know
as yet as to when negotiations
would be resumed, but expressed
his eagerness to get them started
and to "get it settled.
