PEMBROKE-Disgruntled
workers at the Fleetwood
Mobile Home Plant in Pem
broke began their second
week on strike today as they
refused to work because of
cuts in their pay.
Spokesman James Locklear
said the only complaint they
have is a cut in pay since
Rectwood took over the mo
bile home plant from Housing
by Vogue July 28. Locklear
noted that his own pay was 25
to 30% below what it had
been when Vogue owned the
plant. Other workers indicat
ed similar cuts in pay.
Locklear was adamant
throughout the week in saying
"We're not asking for a pay
raise...we just want compar
able pay to what we were
getting from Vogue and what
we were promised from Fleet
wood." Some of the workers
indicated that, according to
the incentive program offered
by Fleetwood, they would
have turn out double the work
for the same pay."
AccofOftig to the workers,
Fleetwood has 57 workers on
the line who actually turn out
the mobile homes and another
15 clerical and management
personnel.
The sale of the mobile home
manufacturing concern was
announced with much fan fore
on July 29 in a joint announce
ment by both companies.
Fleetwood is a division of
Fleetwood Enterprises, the
largest manufacturer of mo
bile homes in the nation, and
is headquartered in Riverside,
California.
Fleetwood also announced
plans to increase the work
force by 25% and double
plant production within 90
days, according to a company
official when the sale was
announced. The workers also
say that Fleetwood indicated
that their wages would remain
comparable.
Company officials have
maintained a stoney silence
since the strike began, refus
ing even to identic themselv
es by name.
Company officials have
held one generally unproduc
tive meeting with a delegation -i
of workers since the strike
began. ,

workers are now beginning

Look for the Pembroke Senior High
4 Warrior of the Week' each week
ThisFootbaM Season fat the CIV
WARRIORS BEGIN SEASON
ON WINNING NOTE
By Steve Tyner
The Pembroke Senior High
Warrior varsity football team
opened its 1982 season on a
high note as they defeated
South Robeson 21-6 in a
non-conference game.
Last Friday's game was
almost two games in one as
far as the action was con
cerned with the first half a
defensive struggle ending in a
0-0 tie. It was not until their
first offensive possession of
the second half that the
Warriors, behind the running
of Lee McRae, exploded for 21
points. It was on this pos
session that McRae exhibited ?
the speed he became known
for this summer at the junior
Olympics in Nebraska. On the
first snap from scrimmage,
Lee took the ball 62 yards,
outracing the Mustang se
condary for the game's first
score. This seemed to break
the ice for the Warriors as
they began moving the ball
against South Robeson's de
fense, something they had
been unable to do in the first
half.
South Robeson came right
back driving the ball down
field for a score. Attempting
the two-point conversion to tie
the score, the Mustangs were
stopped by a stubborn War
rior defense which held the
Mustangs to under 200 yards
total offense for the game and
forced four turnovers.
In turn the Warriors struck
for two more scores, a three
yard bootleg by quarterback
Devy Bell and another score
by McRae on a nine yard run.
This week the Warriors
travel to Orrum, a team they
only managed to tie last year.
Game time is 8 p.m.
WARRIOR OF THE WEEK
Pembroke Senior High's
initial selection for Warrior of
the Week honors is Alan
Locklear, a senior playing the
middle linebacker position.
Alan was a key factor on
defense during the Warriors'
21-6 victory over the South
Robeson Mustangs collecting
5 solo tackles and assisting on
o otners. Alan is the son of
Mr. & Mrs. Telford Locklear.

An Amplification on
' ... _ ^Last Week's Article
v^r>i> n
Brewtogton Changes -i-/_S
>, V'C # His Mind..." '
Bill Brewington has taken umbrage
with last week's article headlined "Bill
Brewington changes his mind..."
Brewington said that his motion at the
August 16 special meeting of the board
of directors of Lumbee River Electric
Membership Corporation was misstated.
Brewington said the motion actually
stated (that) Hinson's contract was
terminated as of Dec. 31, 1982, and that
he was given an option to resign.
In last week's issue The Carolina
Indian Voice stated: "This time Bill
Brewington...made another motion that
wiped out his previous one. At Tuesday's
meeting, Brewington made a motion in
executive session to simply terminate
Hinson's contract by December 31..."
Brewington affirms that he did not
make the motion, and that the motion
was made by Marceia Low cry to rescind
the previous action taken. He also noted
that the motion to terminate Hinson's
contract at the August 23 meeting was
made by Rev. Elias Rogers and approved
by 11 board members.
The Carolina lodtan Voice readily
offers the above clarifications and apo
logizes to Bill Brewington for the errors
contained in the August 26 article.
The subhead of the August 26 article
which read "Action taken by LREMC
Board undone on 7-5 vote" referred to a
vote to go into executive session and
should have read "Action taken by
LREMC Board undone on 6-5 vote."
J.W. Hunt, the President of the Board,
did not exercise his.right to vote on the
matter.
