UAW steps into union dispute
The Allentown, PA chapter of the United Auto Workers has threatened to withdraw its support of the United Way after clerical workers for the charity petitioned the National Labor Relations Board to remove United Steelworkers Local 2599 as its collective bargaining representative. Union officials charge that United Way President Susan Gilmore and other charity officials coerced the workers into the decertification and have threatened to pull even more support from the charity in the region if the union is not reinstated.
