Description
During the summer of 1955 the Curtiss-Wright plant had collective bargaining agreements with Local 669 representing production and maintenance employees and Local 300 representing office and clerical employees. The agreements provided that employees with six months service or more would receive paid vacations; that insofar as possible, vacations would be granted during the summer months; that the employer would endeavor to give the employees a months advance notice of the period or periods selected for vacations; and that "the final right to the allotment of vacation and the giving of one month advance notice is reserved to the Employer." The agreements contained no provisions for plant shutdowns. In 1950 and 1951 there were no plant shutdowns and vacations were allotted on a staggered basis throughout the summer months. However, in 1952 and in the ensuing years the company followed the practice of shutting down for two weeks during which those entitled to vacations with pay received them and those not entitled to vacations with pay were, in effect, temporarily laid off without remuneration. Mr. Froelich, assistant to the vicepresident in charge of industrial relations at Curtiss-Wright, testified that the company had found through experience that staggered vacations involved a "greater hindrance to production" than did a plant shutdown. Mr. Froelich also testified that "around about February" 1955 the companys administrative committee met and decided upon "a two week plant shutdown for vacation purposes"; it fixed the shutdown period as July 23 to August 7 and so advised the appropriate personnel throughout the plant.
