Picket Promotes Turvey Products Boycott in City
A representative of a Blackwell packing house union was in Tonkawa Friday, passing handbills urging shoppers to boycott products from Turvey Packing company of Blackwell.
The picket appeared in front of Dorsett’s Food market and the Tonkawa Safeway store for a time Friday afternoon. According to the hand bill, he represented Local 340 of Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North America, AFL-CIO.
The bill proclaimed that Blackwell packing house workers were striking against the Turvey Packing company because it “will not give the Turvey workers the improved working conditions and wages which our union has negotiated with other packing plants.” It asked that shoppers not buy Turvey products sold in the store.
