Lip Service Won't Resolve Grievances |
The local management has been reporting stoppages in
-the public press as violations of .contract and charging the
Union with the sole responsibility. °~ .
“The Union is well aware of
its contract responsibilities
and we.do not.condone delib-
erate violation.” However, we
don't run’ to the public press
’ each time a foreman or repre-
sentative of management vio-
lates the contract, and. the
record will show that repre-
sentatives of G.E. have vio-
-lated the contract even more
_than the 84 times that the Un-:
ion has publicly been charged
with.
... Foreman’s Responsibility
“An article. published in last
Tuesday's Gazette claimed
' that $1,000 had been lost in
wages due to 68 workers go-
ing home as the result of an
action by the foreman. This.
claim was made purposely to
mold publié opinion in an anti-
- union sort of way that the Un-
. ilon ‘even caused this loss of
’ wages through their irrespon-
sibile and illegal operation, :
when the facts are that the’
employees themselves decided
without Union advice that the
sacrifice of wages was less ira-
portant than to be obliged to
put up with a foreman who
disregarded contract obliga-
tions and refused to deal fair
and square with the employ-
ees under his jurisdiction: If
the G.H. management were
really concerned with loss of
wages to employees, they.
could call off the transferring
of departments to out of town
communities and prevent the.
loss:of many thousands of dol-
lars in lost wages due to trans-
ferring long service employees
. The new agreement reached .
also provides that. an .em-"
ployee shall be permitted to
change from one plan’ to an-
other if after 12 months of ex-
perience he is disSatisfied-with -
his choice. :
._ At the time when the Union

Executive Board thought it
’ -desirable- to select the Ex-
tended Medical Expense Plan
(Corridor. Plan) since it was a

* State Shows Income Drop. Under
“Right to Work" Law
Ig the Mississippi Federation of Labor Convention, W. L. Hines,
esident, brought out the fact: that Mississippi’s so called “right to
work” law has backfired.
Statistics cited by Hines showed
that the per capita income in Miss-
which has long ranked
among the lowest in the nation, has
dropped still further since passage
of the union-busting measure,
> Hines blamed the ‘drop on the
fact that employee groups have
used the new. law’ as_a méans of
during . low-wage companies: from
the North and as a “club” to force
workers into accepting sub-stand-
ard wages.’ Thus, while aimed at
_ unions, the law is’ “adversely af-
“ fecting business, ,professional’ men
and farmers “also,” he. ‘said.
“ The results in Mississippi recalls.
a similar development in the state
of North Carolina, There, since a
“right. to work” law: barring, the
union was enacted, the average fac-
tory earnings of workers fell to the”
lowest level of any state in the 48.
