USWA officials seek ouster of CSB leader By Lisa A. Abraham and John Higgins
Officials from the union that represents Akron-area rubber workers appeared before the Summit County Council on Monday calling for the ouster of Children Services Executive Director Joe White Jr.
They were angry about comments that White made about rubber workers in a letter he sent last week to several thousand supporters of Children Services.
In the letter, White explains the agency's position on its negotiations with striking members of Communications Workers of America Local 4546. White calls the local ``inflexible and unwilling to adapt to changing times,'' and goes on to state, ``It is this type of rigid, backward thinking and a failure to collaborate that drove the rubber industry from our city.''
