"= Wage Increases

Considerable discussion took place |

on the question of wage increases in”
relation not only to the G.E, locals
but: to the rest of the industry:
Motion passed that. the séeretary be
instructed to present a concrete pro-

‘posal to the delegates embodying the

ideas put forth in the-discussion. The
following was: presented. by the see-
retary on this question of wages:

“A number of GL. Locals have
proposed that steps be taken to ob-
tain a general increase. After an
exchange of views, it was felt that
the success of such a move depend-
ed on whether the U.E. Loeals in
other leading companies of the. in-
dustry were. prepared to proceed
with a general move of “a similar
“hatuite. With this in view, the Gei-
eral Officer's shall send outa call
inviting representatives from the
U.E. Locals inthe leading com-
panies’ of the industry for a wage-
conference. '

“Tn addition to whatever dele-
gates G.E. Locals may desive to
sénd, a committee shall be selected
from the conference board to rep-
resent the G.E. Locals confeernee
‘board.. The‘ main purpose of the
wage conference shall be to deter-

mine the advisability of a general _

move and to work out steps neces-
sary to make it etiective.

“The General Office shall ecom-
pile data on developments in other
_ industries and on- conditions in the
~ electrical industry as a whole. This
coming conference in no way af-
fects attempts on the part of Lo-

whenever possible.”
The above was unanimously adopted.
Motion passed that the sub- ecomiit-
tee of the conference board. to..the
wage conference shall consist of one
“delegate trom cach G.D. Loéal repre-
sented at the general wage confer-
enee. ‘ *

_Weer-Your—

‘The March buttons ave in; have

The Union Button: plays a very im.

the wearer is a union member in good
standing, but it has a psychological

it reflects obligations of cooperation

G. E. OFFICE WORKERS -

Many G, EB. employees are continually asking us sit they 1 may
join the Union, and in doing so, axe they protected by the Wagner

Act.

The answer is: yes, Furthermore, the preduottin and main-

tenance ‘employees are ready to fully support the Office Workers .

in their organizational efforts.

There are approximately 3,000 office workers i in the Schenee-
tady plant eligible to join our Union. .
“DO ‘YOU NEED A UNION?
Some office workers, believe it or not, honestly wonder if
_ they need ‘a Union. What can, a ‘Union do for us? We are not cov-

ered by the Contract, so what?

6

These questions: seem strange to factory workers, because
they know that office workers’ wages and working conditions are
governed by the same Company poliéy and administration as

their own.

” ‘Phe success of the factory workers’ organizational eideavurs

have reaped them profitable rewards in the way. of wage in- ©
creases, job protection, betterment of. working conditions, and

the elimination of-favoritism.

The office workei’s job is classified, sind he or she’ receives aj
rating made by supervision relative to ability, which has divect
bearing to the pay enyelope. Office workers’ wages are.subject

_to community 1

rates and paid accordingly...

WAGE CUTS!

Factory.wor ‘kevs are asking the following questions: :
Can Office Workers afford wage euts?

; Can G. E. Office Workers buy ‘groceries, new clothes, or 7
“home and offer in payment their titles as timekeeper, job record _ the Company. +
elerk, chief clerk, leader, or what have you, instead of actual cash

on the line?

G. E. office employees, skilled and unskilled, as aan beings
cannot exist on titles, or how many lead pencils they save or the

type of ink they use.

“PREREQUISITES OF OFFICE WORKER!
“yhe prerequisites for aii avenge orice job: are“ mueir higtier-

than a factory worker. Are they paid accordingly? If not, is an
office worker big enough as an individual to get it adjusted?

The answer-is definitely NO.
