Negotiations,

Libel Suit Filed Against UE
For Lies About Local Funds,

‘The outsiders have finally, been caught in a trap they
built for themselves out of their own lies.

Yesterday afternoon the duly-elected Officers of Local
301 brought a libel suit against the outsiders for their malic-
ious lies about Local 301 finances. The suit asks for $775,000
damages for these vicious stories claiming that the officers

“stole” $118,935.76 of Local 301 money.” *

The suit was filed against
the leader of the outsiders—
Mike Jiminez — and Alec:
Leith, the guy who wrote
these stories. knowing they
were completely false; Ernest
Kopper, president of the UE
paper “local” cn Broadway;
and UE President Albert Fitz-

‘gerald. ;
The Court action, filed by.
‘Attorney

Harold Blodgett,
charges that these stories: are
“completely false” and that
they were purposely designed

up ina 15-minute period the same day. Heré'
they are outside the subway gate. D'Amico is at
left front and Board Member Bill Christman is
at right. They signed up 100%. Their next goal:

Last week the UE News
carried a story claiming a Big
Deal for UE. It turned out to
be a Big Lie!

The story involved a wom-

Union Headquarters and de-
nounced UE for printing the

Who’s Kidding Who?

At a UE meeting Wednes-

“Ii we vote UE we can still
have Jandreau, Mastriani,
Cognetta and the other Offic-
ers to lead us.”

This is a lie!

In the first place, Mr. Jan-

want nothing to do with UE.

In the second place, UE’s

In the third place—UE isn’t

“Phony from New York City...

vic

Of all the hundred-odd paid
political hacks
have brought into Schenectady,
probably the biggest phony is a
guy named Vic’ Teich,

If you have seen him, or if:

he has come storming into
your home. insisting he: wants
to talk to you, he probably
didn't use that name. For like

the other outsiders he usually ©

gives a different name.
Apparently trying to cover
up his political past, Phony

».Yeich has been telling some

Schenectady workers that his
name is “Jack Price.”
There is little wonder that
he is trying to hide his past.
Certainly one thing. he
didn’t want to come out is the
horrible “contract” he negoti-

ated for the people in his shop.

in New York. The shop is
Waldes Zipper Company—on
Long Island. Here are just a

few examples of the horrible
{ nditions people have to put

up with in Waldes—thanks to
Vic Teich:

1. Wages are 78¢ an hour.

This goes for punch press op-

the. outsiders.

erators, repair operators, final

inspectors, packers and. many
other rates. ,
2. Seniority is by. depart-
ment or by job: Plant-wide
Seniority is un-heard of!.

Vie Teich
3: The so-called “contract”
actually gives the ‘company
seven different ways to take
away seniority from any em-

- ployee.

4, Foremen have the right
-——it’s written into the “con-
tract”’—to dowork that right-

fully belongs. to the people in
the plant. ;

In_-spite . of the fact that
New York is’ a. higher-paid

. area, the people in! Teich’s

* plant work for rates only. half
as high as'what we are paid
here “in Schenectady. Check
this list and you will again see
‘that the National UE never
won anything for us here in
Schenectady; what: we have

- today we won here ‘in’ the

local:

Machinist “A”. ..$1.48
Millwright “A’ _-$1.48
‘Carpenter “A” __$1.50
Electrician “A”__$1.50
Welder “A” $1.37

- Those are the highest-rated
jobs in Teich’s plant. And
those are, the rates in the
“contract” he signed on
March 1, just four. months
ago. :

The great majority ofthe
people work for.rates of: 78c,
$3c and '98c an hour. Those
are rates much worse than
people are paid in the worst

unorganized sweat-shops of .

the South.

— People in His Shop Work for 78c an Hour!

{A copy of this Contract is on file at Local
201 Headquarters, and anyone wishing to check
these rates can do so.)

After you look into the rec-
ord of this guy Teich, you un-
derstand why the people are

so exploited in his-plant.

In the first plase, he devotes
a great deal of his time to
Communism, instead of doing
a. Union -job‘in the shop. Like
all the other political hacks
who have invaded Schenec-
tady for UE—Jiminez, Flan-
nagan, Houseman, Elconin,
Perlin, Infante and all the
rest—Communism is his main
interest.

But in spite of this rotten
record, this guy has the gall.
to come here and scream that
if we quit UE we will “lose”
seniority and all our Contract
conditions. ;

He knows those statements
are lies.’ But like Jiminez,-In-
fante and. the rest of the Com-
munist crowd, he adheres to the
idea that “Any lie, no matter
how low, is justified if it helps ~
achieve our end.”

Turbine Worker
Repudiates ‘UE

Another GE worker has -re-
pudiated UE. for using his name
and picture in the UE paper.

He is Tom Stern of Bldg.
273. In a signed statement
Brother Stern denounced UE
and declared that he supports
the duly-elected. Officers and
Stewards of Local 301 in their
move to unite all GE workers
in IUE-CIO,

Stern is backing Local 301
for the same reason that the
other 90°% of the people in
the plant. Namely, because he
has learned from experience
that Local 301 can be counted
on_to win for the people.

Erie Next!
Hearing July 1

The NLRB has ordered a
hearing for July’ 1 on IUE-
CIO's petition for an election |
among GE workers in Erie,
Pa. Erie is the only sizeabla
GE plant still in UE.

This hearing, to be held the
day after our election here in
Schenectady, now makes it
possible to unite the entire -
chain in IUE-CIO.: In view of:
the: NLRB decision.‘in: our
case, the NLRB will.undoubt-

It will be no ‘surprise,
though, when UE takes every
possible action to prevent the
election in Erie. The UE is so
desperate: to keep what .few
members it has left, it will un-
doubtedly go into the ,courts
and employ every phony -ma-
neuver in Erie that they used
here in Schenectady.

But they can no longer suc-

vent GE workers. from unit- -

Leader-less UE Repudiated in Tur

~The claims that Turbine workers sup-
port UE’ have melted faster than an ice
_ cube an State Street. _—

The outsiders have never been able to
get a meeting in Turbine--or any place

else, for that matter-—of more than u°

handful of dissidents, opportunists and
bitter-enders, :
But) last week PUE-CIO Local 30

ealled a meeting in Turbine to be ad-

dressed by Chiet Steward Mastriani and
former President. Bill Kelly. Between
S00 and 1,000 people attended and at

the close of the meeting voted unani- .

a¢nously to support the move of Local
301 te unite GH workers in TUK-CrlO.
Even the people who supported UE
before the meeting threw down their
Uo buttons and announced for IUE-

+

CIO after they saw the way one UR

die-hard tried to wreck the meeting and

prevent Mastriani from talking.

Half-way through the meeting “Al

fsoturski (who is how supporting UK,

-but who for years has blasted” UI as

“that bunch of no-goud, damn Com-
munists”) jumped up ona platform, He
started shouting while Mastriani was
talking. 7

He continued to talk even after the
people told him to shut up and not in-
terrupt., After a while he became so
Violent in his desperate attempt to pre-
vent the people from getting the facts
that the Turbine men booed him clear
out_of the area. . ,

_ It was then that the UE supporters

ripped off their UE buttons and said,
“Phat’s enough for us!”

The leaflet UE distributed listing
names-e£480 Turbine workers who al-
legedly ‘support UE” was a frantic at-
tempt to show some kind of backing in

ae plant.

“The truth is that immediately after
the leaflet appeared, dozens ‘of Turbit’.

workers whose names were on the leat> -

let called 301 Headquarters and told Mr.
Jandreau that they “never gave UE
authority to use’" their names, and fur-
thermore they are supporting IUE-CIO,
In fact, they stated, they want nothing
to do with UE.

Other names were of people who left

the plant years ago.

Others were ‘names off tombstones.
And still others were taken from a 1936 ;

City Directory, which is a standard
piece of equipment with the outsiders.

Finally, even if UE did have 480
“supporters” in Turbine, it would still
be less than 10°. of the more than 5,000
people who work in that huge operation.
And we always said the outsiders would
get 6% of the entire vote.

Their Turbine leaflet proved it!

SALTO eee,

GH Has Proved Hitseif

There are plenty of reasons why the overwhelming majority

of Schenectady GE workers will vote UE Local 301 tomorrow.

_ “Because a vote for UE is a vote for the union which has im-

proved and protected our wages and conditions for 18 years.”
“UE is the only union whose contract with GE guarantees plant-

wide seniority — and in these days of layoffs, that’s going to

mean the difference between working and unentployment fov a
lot of us.”

“UE isn’t afraid to take on the fight for jobs and against the
company’s runaway program—and UE has proved that it can win
that fight as it did in Essirigton Westinghouse.” ;

“UE’s contract pretects the pay of both day workers and piece
workers... The IUE-CIO contract provides the company with
its chance to cut wages all the way down the line. It’s no accident
that UE shops have by far the highest wages in the GE chain.”

“UE has led the fight for equal pay for women workers and
against all forms of diserimination, regardless of whether it’s
diserimination because of color, nationality, sex, craft, creed or

GE workers, we do not claim to have any greater knowl-
edge or wisdom than you who work with us but who have
not been in the plant as long. In fact, many of us did
not have the benefit of the extra schooling and education
that many of you have.

But we do remember when . .
@ You would be discharged for smoking on com-
pany property .. .

®@ Wage cuts of up to 10% an , hour were
forced on us .
Our vacations which we had earned were
taken away from.us . .

® In order to get a job we had to actually
buy it ...
@® Women were paid only 35c an hour . . .

® Laborers received only 55c¢ an hour .

@ Prices would be cut on the job and you had to: |

compete with your co-workers to see who would

produce the most in order to keep your job .. .. j

® Long-service employees were fired and
laid-off, regardless of Seniority . . .
Yes,-we remember those things and many .more,

Gonditions such as those were the things that spurred
us to organize.

We saw then that as individuals we didn’t have a
chance the company pitted one of us against an-
other—to our harm and to the company’s benefit. It
became obvious to us that the only answer was unity of
all GE workers against the company.

With this in mind we proceeded to organize GE.
And with five other Locals (all of which are now in IUE-
CIO) we won our first Contract on April.6, 1938. For
ten straight years we proceeded to negotiate with GE
through this position of united strength. By doing so we
eliminated the wage cuts... we won plant-wide seniority

. we won smoking privileges . .. won paid vacations
. night-shift bonuses ... piece-work guarantees ... job
rights .. . and all along we continually improved our

wages to the point where the average rate in the shop

is $2. 00 an hour.

Practically all of our gains were made in the ten

years of unity from 1938 to 1948. Since 1949 we have |

made"no major gains in our National Contract.

The major reason for this is that after 1949 we were no
longer united. And steadily UE lost more and more locals,
thereby reducing its effectiveness against the company.

“Asa result, we had to fight harder and harder here |

on the Local level to maintain the gains won during
those first ten years. .At the same time we saw what

Unite the
GE Chain
in LUE-CIO

happened to the UE when it tried to take on a company

that was really cracking down, The best examples of this
are General Cable in Rome and Inter national Harvester.

At Rome UE waged a 26-week strike and wound up going
back to work for less than what was offered before they walked
out. The same was true in Harvester—because the workers were
split the company had no trouble in defeating the workers and
rejecting their demands. Now. the workers in Harvester and
General Cable do not have strong Seniority protection and

other gains they deserve.

Over the past 16 ycars we have fought—and fought
hard—for UE. But for some time now we have realized
that the National UL has not been doing a sincere job
for us. Particularly regarding unity. Rather than really
fighting for unity of GE workers, the UE National

Officers have opposed it — in order to maintain their

own selfish position.

“The only solution for Schenectady GE workers is to unite—
the same as we did 16 years ago-—and bring all GE workers

back under one roof.

As sincere and honest Trade Unionists, we heartily

“endorse the decision of Local 301 to once. again unite
the GE chain so that we can continue to make the gains -
we were making between 1938 and 1948.

Obviously, UE can no longer protect its members.
If they must strike, they cannot expect the support
needed to win the strike . if they need aid in the
form of concentrated service, they cannot be sure the
service will be forthcoming if they need to do.a
job of organizing in their own area to protect their
rates and conditions, they must see scab shops and
scab conditions extended because the organizational
support is not at hand... and if the company threatens

to ‘‘run away” to the South, the UE member is help-
less to prevent it.

a gM hy does this situation exist?

It exists because in the past four years, more then
430,000 members have quit UE and joined IUE- CIO. As a
result, UE has but a mere handful of members left. And more.
and more. of them.are quitting every day because. they see.
that UE can no longer do a job for them, and because they
have found that they can have strong, democratic Anmetieun
Trade Union representation in IVE - ClO.

~ These reparts are a year ald. The 50,000 members who have quit UE since that time puts
UE in an even Worse position because it is no longer getting the $50}000 a. month an $600 Me 3
year — that those Locals were paying to the National. Qur own Local 30! was pa in : UE
more than $16,000 a month and getting nothing in return for it This desperate sictlo a he
National shows one more reason why the National was trying to take over our Local sé '
