a secession motion at last Monday’s meeting with a few
hundred paid voters on lost time. IUE leaders are holler-
ing for a hurry-up NLRB election, and crying because UE
doesn’t fall in with their scheme.
UE will not_make one: single move that will help the
company and the JUE take way from Schenectady GE work
ers the plant-wide seniority, the grievance procedure, the piece
price safeguards that they have right now and are guaranteed
unuil April 1955, under the National UE-GE Contract.
The IUE-C1O leaders are in an all-fired hurry to place
Schenectady workers under the LUE Contract, which is alred ady
inferior to the UE's, and gelling worse year by year. What is
more, the IUE. contract is just about 1 vady to run out. Jt ex-
pires this June. That means 1UE President James Carey, who
does the negotiating for IVE and who has let the company
whittle away af the contract year alter yea‘, will have to start
from scratch this spring. Layoffs and the threat of depression
have made all the corporations arrogant in their dealings with .
unions. This is.a time when companies are expecting to take
C away contract protections, not improve them,
GE has already succeeded in weakening seniority, piece
_ price protection and grievance procedure in IUE- ‘represented
plants — in Syracuse, in Lynn, in Pittsfield, in Fort Wayne
and’ elsewhere.
Expose IUE-CIO Deceit
The local IUE-C1O leaders know this. They are already
resorting to deceit to conceal the weakness of the expiring IUE
contract, Their newspaper of last Friday showed Schenectady
CE workers one little part of the IUE’s seniority clause, but
left out the part that opens the door wide for GE to take away
the protection Schenectady workers have in UE.
This attempt to fool Schenectady workers with a half-teuth
about a matter that vitally affects the job security of every
GE employee exposes the phony claim of Carey, Jandreau
and.the rest that a hurry-up election will protect GE workers.
The truth is just the opposite. The way to protect jobs and
conditions in Schenectady is to fight to keep the protections
_of the UE-GE contract.
UE intends to:do just that. UE has-been in Schenectady for
17 years, improving the earnings. and conditions and protec-
_ ang the jobs of GE workers here. UE will be in Schenectady
for a long time to come, fighting to protect and improve the
seniority rights, job security, earnings and conditions of
“workers in the Schenectady plant, in a democratic rank-and-
file Union, run 1 by and for the membership. ,

Shocking Inside Story
Jandreau On The IVE-CI0
Leo Jandreau had this to say
about the IUE-CIO in the Elec-

1951;
“The GE company knows
IUE’s weakness in every plant,
and the officials of IUE-CIO
-|. know it. This is the reason why
IUE-CIO has to grab at every
crumb the company offers; why
it can’t protect workers in the
day-by-day operations in the
shop, why it sells out workers in
negotiations, and why it has to
depend on empty brags and red-
baiting to cover up its miserable -
eeprecord.”
1954 ‘on the eve of the switch,
Jandreau wrote in. the local’s
newspaper as follows:
“McCarthy will not run this
union, nor will be moved by
those of our people who uncon-
sciously have been, duped by
IUE into. circulating petitions
that disregard procedures set
forth in our constitution and
by-laws.”
