The Pantagraph Wednesday, January 29, 1997 Jj Inflammatory remarks win new trial for Honda UAW: Caterpillar agrees to rehire 12 workers DECATUR (AP) Union officials sav Tatpr. bation and were not called back because they were not needed when the strike ended Dec. 3, 1995. "When the strike ended, we had a surplus of employees. Because we were still in that probationary period with those workers, we chose not to bring them back," said Caterpillar spokeswoman Marsha Hausser.

She said they were called back later because the company needed more workers. The National Labor Relations Board was going to issue a complaint on behalf of the 12 workers in Decatur, said NLRB regional attorney Stephen Shostrom, but the workers have withdrawn their charges. The status of workers fired during the long contract dispute 101 people altogether has been a key hurdle to a new contract. The old contract expired Sept. 30, 1991.

NLRB Region 33 Director Glenn Zipp filed a complaint early this month requesting the reinstatement of 11 other workers terminated shortly after the strike. He also filed a complaint consolidating charges regarding eight veteran workers who were fired. Complaints go before an administrative law judge for a recommendation, then to an NLRB panel for a ruling. If Caterpillar appeals as it has each time in the past, it could end up in federal court, which could mean years before a final ruling is issued. pillar Inc.

has decided to avoid possible labor charges and rehire a dozen workers who were not called back to work after a bitter strike. The 12 workers were hired within 30 days of the start of the United Auto Workers' 17'2-month strike and they joined the walkout They were not included when the company recalled workers, said Randy Morrell, president of UAW Local 751. "We kept hammering the company," Morrell said. "If they deserve to be hired once, they deserve to be brought back." The UAW said the dozen were illegally terminated. Caterpillar said they were still on pro CONCORD, N.H.

(AP) A $1.5 million verdict against American Honda Motor Co. was thrown out Tuesday by New Hampshire's Supreme Court because of inflammatory anti-Japanese remarks by an opposing lawyer. Honda and the operator of one of its all-terrain vehicles had been ordered on Nov. 19, 1993, to pay a total of $2.1 million for injuries suffered by Thomas LeBlanc. LeBlanc's leg was severely injured in 1988 when a snowmobile on which he was a passenger collided with a Honda Odyssey, a now-discon tinued, one-person vehicle.

It bears no resemblance to Honda's current Odyssey minivan. During the trial, LeBlanc's lawyer, Vincent C. Martina, asked an expert witness if he had ever wondered why the Odyssey was "red, white and blue, the color of the American flag?" And during closing arguments, Martina told the jury the case was not about "Pearl Harbor or the Japanese prime minister saying Americans are lazy and stupid." i Honda argued that Martina improperly tried to appeal to jurors' racial bias and national pride. 2SUJN0G PRESS '225 ASSOCIATION HOURS: Monday-Friday 8-5 By phone only Saturday 8-Noorr MA) 1996 Aunt Ulmv OH-UNE CLASSIFIEDS? -v Jr-1 WE TAKE PLASTIC!
