Docket #7968-57 is a good ex-
ample of a Union Steward ‘and
Board Member being on the job,
In this case a man had to take the
day of before Election Day to at-
tend his sister-in-law’s funeral in
Detroit. His supervisor informed
him that that he could not qualify
for payment for the Election Day
holiday because he didn’t work the
day before the holiday. Steward
Milkins upon hearing this contacted
Board Member Drozdowski and the
Union Hall. “Upon hearing this
* story, it was our opinion that the
Company was wrong on this one;
therefore, Steward Milkins filed a
docket requesting payment for this
man. The foreman’s answer re-
fused payment saying that in-law’s
funerals couldn’t be used as a qual?
ifying excuse for holiday payment.
Following this, the case was. pro-
cessed at the Union Hall. Before
the case could reach the second
level, central management called
and said that we were right and
this man would be. paid.
Docket #7915-57 involves a
warning notice issued to Steward
Wilkinson for leaving his work
‘Yirea without permission. Board
Member Mastriani after finding out
that Steward Wilkinson was ab-
sent from his job on Union busi-
ness instructed him to file a griev-
ance. The foreman’s answer was
as usual unsatisfactory. Tt was
only after two Step Two meetings
were held we finally produced. a
photostatie copy of our inside
voucher signed by the foreman cov-
ering this time, was this warning
notice rescinded. Supervision de-
nied that there was any such vouch-
_er in existence and appeared erest-
fallen when confronted with it.
This was obviously un attempt by
the Chemical Dept. to put an ag-
gressive steward on the spot. It
would seem that this time would be
better used promoting good rela-
tions between the Company and the
Union, _
Docket #7942-57 was finally set-
tled last week after long negotia-
tions with M.A.C. supervision, Here
bite es wT
an operator protested a price on a
serew machine, claiming the table
was priced too low. After hearing
his story, Board Member De Marco
turned in, a grievance protesting
the inadequate, price. The Company
answer denied that the price was
too low. At a Step Two mecting
Coordinator Christman asked for
facts and figures and table prices
_to support the Company story that
the price was right. At a later date
management was unable to produce
ample substantiating: evidence that
the pricing structure on the screw
machine job was right. At this
time they’ agreed to re-time the
job in question, They, however,
“ stated that the operator was using
the wrong methad; therefore, they
proposed to set up a better method
to do the job, After timing the job
using the new niethod, the price
came out much higher than before.
At this point they went back to the
original method used in the first
place, The final outcome of this
grievance resulted in an approxi-
mate upward revision of 25% in
the pricing table, This is a colossal
exumple of to what lengths the
Company will go to prove a price.
It is also au fine example of good
negotiatings on the part of Board
Member De Marco and Coordinator
Christman,

Vol. 4 — No. 26
February 28, 1958
.
_ The Voice of GE Workers, Local 301, Schenectady, N.Y.
| Conference Board Report
On 1958 Reopener
; "At a meeting of the Conference Board held on the 20th of February in the City of Wash-
ington, D. C., an 8-point program was adopted:
1. Guaranteed Annual Wage
More than ever before a Guaranteed Income Plan must be negotiated. There are now
. approximately 5,000,000 unemployed. Many others are working less than 40 hours. — Still
others have been downgraded to lower rated jobs as the workers in the Schenectady Plant
well know. A G.A.W. Plan is overdue in the IUE and this year the people stand ready to fight
for an adequate plan in face of rising unemployment.” Today more than 4,000,000 people are
covered by SUB or other similar plans.
2. Severance or Termination Pay
The present contract ‘provides for severance pay only when an entire plant closes down.
The proposal is that termination. or severance pay be provided for those with at least three
oc of service, with one week's pay for each year of service where the termination is not
..due to discharge for’ cause. Two-thirds of the ‘1700 agreements analyzed by the U. S. De-’
partment of Labor disclosed that the number of workers covered by termination pay totaled
7.3 million. Not only will termination pay provide an income while. readjustment is. taking
place but it will help to prevent plant shutdowns, runaway and other unnecessary dismiss-
als. Such severance pay will also help the community by allowing a worker to make an ad-
justment there. ;
3. Protection of Seniority in Plant Movement
_The many workers who have been displaced and downgraded because of the movement
of jobs out of Schenectady will recognize the importance of this proposal. Workers who have
given years of service should certainly have a right to move to a new plant carrying their
seniority with them. There can be no security of employment for the men and women in our
industry as long as the Company can arbitrarily move from one location to another without
taking care of their present employees. -
4. Farming Out of Work «
), The farming out or sub-contracting of work is becoming more and more pronounced in
view of.the critical unemployment situation we all face.
; Some employers sub-contract work to non-union shops where employees are obliged to do
it under non-union conditions. In scme cases employers have even paid higher sums to have
work sub-contracted simply in order to create a feeling of insecurity among our membership.
; Many IUE.contracts-already require that no work may be farmed out until the full capac-
ity of the plant has been fully utilized and all employees on layoff have been recalled. This pro-
vision should be incorporated in our agreement.
5. Handling the Problems of Automation
Automation is definitely a problem of employment security. There is no question but
that automation is going to require new types of skills which in many cases do not exist
ymong the current employees. The question of seniority must be re-studied and the seniority
units broadened so that people in one Dept. with considerable service are not thrown out of
jobs where shorter service people in another Dept. get these new jobs. We propose a training
program be set up well in advance of the setting up of any automatic equipment.
6.. Improving Scheduling of Work
' We propose that an addition be made in our contract which would provide that where
there are layoffs in one section of a plant, no overtime will be conducted in another until the
laid off workers have been recalled and all those who can do the work have an opportunity to
do so. te (Continued on Page 4)

Resolutions Against Natural Gas Bill
Local 301 sent letters to Mayor Stratton and the Board of
Supervisors urging that they go:on record as against the
Natural Gas Bill. Subsequently, Local 301 has received copies
of the following resolutions against the Natural Gas Bill from
the Board of Supervisors.and the City Council:
Resolution from Board of Supervisors
, “Supervisor Egan offered and moved the adoption of the following
resolution: seconded by Supervisor Oshonlighter:
WHEREAS, ‘The approval by Congress of H.R. bill Nov 8525, known
cas the Natural Gas Act, would in effect result in substantial rate increases
in the cost of natural gas for thousands of families in our community;
now therefore ‘be: it

Resolution from City Council
“Councilman Isabella offered the following:
VHEREAS,’ Congress currently is. considering H.R. 8525, the so-
called Harris-O’Hara Natural Gas Bill, whieh would exclude producers
of natural gas from. control and regulations by the Federal Power Com-
mission; ad
WHERBAS, Passage of the Harris-O’Hara bill would result in in-
creased rates for natural gas users, increases which have been estimated
to he as great as $40.00 to $50.00 per year per family; and :
WHEREAS, ‘Such increase would he contrary to the public interest,
expecially in view of the hardships currently being imposed on “many
families in Schenectady «and elsewhere in the country as a result of the
present business decline; Now, therefore, be is
RESOLVED, That this Council hereby opposes the passage of H,R.
8525, the so-called Harris-O’Hara Natural Gas Bill and all similar bills,
and urges the Congress not to approve such legislation, because of the
hardship which it would entail for millions of natural gas consumers in
-the major cities of our nation; and be it further
RESOLVED, That copies of this resolution be forwarded to Con-
fressman Bernard W. Kearney, House Speaker Sam Rayburn, Senators
Irving M. Ives and Jacob K. Jayits, and to the United States Mayors’
Committee vs. Natural Gas Legislation at 730 Jackson Place, Washington

The Natural Gas Bill is a bill to make the consumers pay up to
$40. to $50.00 more a year per family. This bill would make the rich

The Facts About the Amended

The headlines of the Schenectady Works News on Febru-

ment benefits but we are certainly not in favor of the Ashbery

politicians will have you believe that the revised billis the best
thing that has ever happened to the worker.
There have been many queries as to. why in the world or-
. ganized labor is against an increase in benefits from $36. 00 a
week to $45.00 a week.
Under the revised’ bill a worker
will receive $45.00 a week provid-
ing his average earnings are $100

Benefits run as low as $10.00 a4

15 weeks or more during the base
period and a. total of not less than
410 weeks of employment during the

The Placement Committee would like to report ‘Piet on
last Wednesday, February 12, at the weekly placement meet-
ing with the company in Building 41, Mr. Hughes, head of
Union Relations on placement cases, was so unbearable in his
attitude to the members of the Placement Committee that it
of the-remainder are working less than 40 “was impossible for them to continue to carry on negotiations
in such an atmosphere of ijl-will.
As.a result of this treat-
ment, the Placement Committee felt it utterly impossible to
continue with the meeting at the present time and returned to
the Union Hall.
We want the membership to
know. that the placement cases that
« Were not discussed at that meeting
have been: written up and are in
the process of being referred to
the New York level.
Mr. Hughes refused to discuss
any case with the Placement Com-
mittee bechuse: (1) a Placement
Committee member checked with
one of the seventeen (17) depart-
ment managers and found that a
release date given to’ the Place-

not so. Mr, Hughes maintains that
when a member of the placement
committec. checks with one of the
seventeen (17) department heads,
he refuses. to discuss this case any
further. My, Hughes seems to think
that when he makes a statement °
no one has the right to do any fur-

spite of the difference of opinion
hetween Mr, Hughes and one of

the position that if the business
