Talks continue in ongoing labor dispute

By Christian Giggenbach

Talks in the ongoing Greenbrier resort collective bargaining dispute resumed Monday, the sixth such meeting in September. However, no new developments were reported and a date for the next round of talks has not been scheduled.

Lynn Swann, public relations director for The Greenbrier, said “meeting dates are being determined.”

“Today’s discussions on the master agreement were professional,” Swann said Monday.

Union officials could not be reached for comment Monday about the latest meeting. Previously, union spokesman Harold Bock described the last few meetings as “disappointing and nonproductive.”
