Hun nit s Diamond- Shamrock: ;inning of the end GOOD PRICES Begins September 14 United Press International CLEVELAND — A copyright ar ticle Wednesday said the 1967 merger of Diamond Alkali with Texas-based Shamrock Oil and Gas was perceived as the beginning of the end by many workers at the orig inal Diamond Shamrock plant in nearby Paine sville. “There seemed to be a changed attitude,” The Cleveland Press quoted union President Julius Majoros as saying. “They were driv ing the men harder. “They went after them more on cleanup time, then absenteeism. Then they’d give them more over time rather than hire more people. ” Delbert Lintala, a Diamond worker who is now mayor of Fairport Harbor adjacent to the old Paines- ville Works, said the company lost its hometown feeling after the merger and company oldtimers no longer called the shots.

Before the merger, the industrial chemicals firm already had 18 U.S. plants and others in Mexico, il and France. But the merger put Diamond Alkali into the oil and pet rochemical business. Diamond employees got a taste of things to come just after the merger.
