It later became a UAW plant (1991), and produced both bicycles and lawn and garden equipment. Some of those arrested were transported to jail in a state highway department dump truck. There were still scores of state troopers guarding the facility on May 12th when two explosions went off near the facility that reporters linked to the conflict. The next day approximately 60 workers were arrested by state troopers. Two hundred marched from the factory to the jail singing 'we shall not be moved' after the arrests.
Nine picketers were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct. The next day the state troopers were initially rebuffed by striking workers, before moving against them again and then clearing a path for the replacement workers. The company was unable to resume production that day because an electrical transformer was sabotaged by a sniper. A court declared their pickets illegal, and Tennessee state troopers were brought to the factory to stop picketing by striking workers on April 19th. Two picketers were hospitalized, one struck by the car of a non-union worker, one injured by the police. Police locked arms as they protected 1350 workers who drove into the facility. On April 12th 50 workers were arrested as the company resumed production. The Teamsters charged unfair labor practices and proceeded to lead a 46-day strike that halted production. There was a failed effort by the Teamsters to win a NLRB election in March of 1965.
Originally a non-union plant, the Lawrenceburg facility began operations in 1956, and over the next few decades, the complex grew to become one of the largest facilities of its type in the United States: 42.7 acres (173,000 m 2) under roof. Like its competitor, American Machine and Foundry (AMF), Murray left Cleveland in the 1950s and moved its factory and assembly plant to the American South, choosing a factory site in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, with corporate headquarters located in Brentwood, Tennessee.
