The dispute centered on negotiations for a hew contract with the United Packinghouse Workers of A,merica CIO. The odd contract expired Aug. 11. Early this week the union charged the company was responsible for the plant shutdowns because it said Cudahy refused to listen to union proposals. ' O. J. Johnson, president of local • 60 at Omaha said the company’s action “makes it appear to us that the company does not desire the tetability of operations during a period of continued uegotiations.” The union said the company closed the plants through a series of “lockouts.” ’■ Cudahy accused the union pf bad faith when it Refused to extend the old contract and to continue operations while a new one was being negotiated.
