• The AFL-CIO IS calling on all affiliates and e,ery segment 

of Ihe trade union movement 10 step up efforts for the 

passage of Labor Law Reform BIllS. 1883 in Ihe U.S, Senate. 

It is necessary that every etror! be madc In order to counteract 

(he "massiYe blitzkrieg" that is belllg conducted by the 

opponents of the bill. The enemies of the AFL-C10 arc 

conducting a vicious campaign with outright lies. dis,ortions, 

fabrications and misrepresentations and are deluging the 

offices of every Senator with untruths about whnt would 

happen if S. 1883 is passed into law by the member~ of the 

$cnate, 

Union members and ,heIr friends know that the legislation 

before the Senate is simply to adjust the labor law so 

it will work for wage clLrners and those who wish to join a 

union instead of the anti-union employers who now usc and 

take adYanlage of the weaknesses of the law as It now 

Slands. 

The labor law reform bill is slmpl) designed to ensure 

the legal right of ..... orkers 10 orgamze and bargain eollectiyely 

by doing three things. speeding up National labor Relations 

Donrd proceedings, removing administrative barriers, and 

Giving workers relief from the pres~ure and harassment many 

ha~e suffered at the hands of anti-union employers. 

Every union member and labor ally should undentand 

how and why labor law reform IS 50 .mportant. The technical 

changes 10 reform the law arc vital. 

Organizing delays alone can be enough to deslroy an organizing 

drive. It now takes an average of 57 days from the 

filing of the petition until the actual election for even the 

simplest uncontested elections-and much longer for others. 

These delays. moreover, increase the potential for harassment 

and pressure upon workers by the emplo)er 

The Labor Reform bill would sct four different lime limIts 

-rangllIg from 15 to 75 days for holding an election. depending 

on the compleXity of the Issue. 

Another major cause of delays IS the National Labor 

Relations Board's handling of most decisions on a ease-bycase 

basis. 

The Reform Bill requires the Board to ~nlC plalll rules 

that would co\ er broad categories of cases, to ehmllIate 

lengthy hearings, ensure faster eh .. 'Cllons, and cut down the 

time before certifications. 

Restrictions on union communieallons- Emplo}ers may 

require employees to attend meetings- including anll-union 

meetings at the workplace. Unions, however. are often re .. 

strleted from communicating with workers at the workplace, 

and must resort to the telephone or home visJis, The result 

is an imbalance III employer-emplo)cc ulllon rights. 

The Reform Bill calls for the NLRIJ to develop realistic 

rules givlllg employees a fair chance to hear both s.des, 

from the union as well as the boss, before making their 

choice in a secret ballot election. 

Technically. both unions and employers have equal rights. 

under the National Labor Relations Act. to obtalll court 

injunctions against the other side to stop violations, In prac_ 

tice, ho .... c\'t'r. thiS power is used rna lilly against the UOions, 

The Rdorm 8111 would equalize the ability of unions to 

obtain injunctLons. It .... ould reqUIre the NlRB to seek a 

prellmmary Injunction agallut an employer when an employee 

is unlawfully discharged during a union's orgamzing 

drive or pTlor to negotiation of a first cont ract. 

The Nationnl Labor Relations lJoard is a generlllly wellmeaning 

body whose manpo .... er cannot keep pace with an 

enormous ..... orkload. The result IS long delays-almost a full 

) ear. for example. to dLspose of an unbir labor practice 

complaint. a year in which the damage of the original violation 

can have an increasingly damaging impact on the 

wronged worker or union. 

The Reform Bill would seck to ensure more {lIpid :t nd 

fair dispensation of justice by increasing the Board's size 

from five to seven members thereby strcamlinlllg procedures 

and speeding up enforcement of uncOntested Board orders. 

Many employers have found that crime docs pay, that 1\ 

IS cheaper to violate the labor law. even if they get caught. 

than to obey it. 

The Reform Bill calls for tougher enforcement of lOugher 

penalties against labor law violntors. It would deny government 

con,racts for thrce years to any person or firm the 

NLRB found to have willfully and repeatedly violated nat.onal 

labor law. The only cxceptions ~ould be firms whose 

products were in the national interest or which were the sole 

manufacturers of these products. The bill would also require 

double back. pay for a worker fired illegally during orgrLll1zation 

Of before negotiation of a first contract; and would require 

companies that unlawfully refused to bargain for the 

first contract to compensate their employees for those delays. 

The ultimate effect of thiS bill would be to restore the 

principal labor law of the land to its former strength and 

dignity and to make sure that II ser.es Ihe vital needs of 

millions of union members, and the millions of their fellow 

workers who urgently desire to become union members. To 

become law. this bill must be approved by the members of 

the U. S. Senate and that i~ why I urge all IB EW members 

to communicate with their Senators to let them know that 

you ..... ant them to support and vOle for the passage of Senate

of and Procedures for Organizing." 

All three handled this topic deftly with 

the underlying theme being "You can't 

over-emphasize the importllnee of organi. 

zing." T hey told of the pilfalls encoun· 

tered in \odays' atmosphere of fear created 

by anti-union employers. They 

reported th:lt the goons and dubs of the 

Thirties were gone but replaced by a 

more subtle ll11d effective weapon: an tiunion

used. They each asked lor continued support 

for the L1bor Reform Bill to enable 

unions to have a fair chance of bringing 

the union position to the non-union em· 

ployee . 

T reasurer I-I arry Van Andale. J r. was

Rcprescnt:lIivc Tony Makris then began 

his topic "Job Evaluation and Incentive 

Program," a subject with wh ich he 

is thoroughly familiar and onc of e:ureme 

importance to our memben in the Manufacwring 

branch, Because of the lime 

lim itations Mnkris could only touch on 

the high points of his subject but about 

half of his time was devoted to a qucstion 

and answer session with the conferees 

who demonstrated their int erest in this 

matter by asking ~eve ral tough questions 

testing the speaker's knowledge and agili ty, 

Thc afternoon session was chaired by 

Representative Dorothy Husted who introduced 

Representative Victor Verdekcl 

for his subject: "Grievance Proced ure 

Arbitr;ltion Mediation." Vcrdckel wen t

inception 10 post-arbitration briefs and

HI) was an important subject to the folks 

in att endance and he was wcll received. 

Vcrdekel then showed a film : "Seniority 

Arbitration on I'romotion." At the conclusion 

of the film the dclegates were 

asked to predict how the arbitrator "ould 

rule and the responses showed we had 

about a 50-50 accuracy rate. 

Representative DOllie Husted then 

handled the complex subject of " Local 

Union Elections," She described for the 

deleg:ll es what is req uired of them under 

the I:lw and our own constilUtion. She 

reported that the U.S. DepaTlnlent of 

La bor has available several pamphlets applic;lble 

to the election of local union ofticers 

and suggested th at the delegates 

scnd for these which arc free. She explained 

in minute detail the proper procedure 

for the nomination and election of 

officers so as to avoid the possibility of 

having an election set aside. 

Representative Husted then introduced 

the final speaker of the day, RepresentatIve 

Leroy T empro to present his topic: 

" Duties of Shop Stewards," a subject 

surely dear to the many stewards present. 

Tempro told how much an important link 

th e steward is in the ove rall structure of 

the local union. He is the tirst line of 

defense and relief for a grieved member 

and must take the brunt of all the prob· 

lems in the area over which he has Jurisdiction. 

He praised all the loyal stewards

assured them their service was recognj;ted

The invocation was gIven by Brother 

Jack Poe from Local 2020, Columbus, 

Ohio. 

The mceling was well attended by 

delegates from the affiliated local unions 

and thc agenda was a very informative 

one. The first speaker was thc Vice 

President of the Fourth District, B. G. 

Williamson, who urged delegates to write 

thei r congressmen and senators to help 

back labor-endorsed legislation, particu- 

larly Ihc labor law reform bill. He said 

a writing campaign from members of Ihe 

local unions would be Ihe most effective. 

BrOlher Williamson noted Ihal many of 

the local unions have a dues structure 

which is not adequate to represent our 

membership and suggested a possible dues 

payment on a percentage basis whereby 

as wages go up dues would also keep 

paee with Ihe rise in cost of living. 

Brother Williamson said he was happy 

to report that Ihe legislation on vote( 

legislation passed in Ihe slate of Ohio. 

This will help all working men and 

women. 

He commented on energy problems 

facing the nation- the shortage of oil 

and gas-stating that although we have 

plenty of coal, we have to go deeper and 

deeper into the earth and Ihe costs will 

rise. Nuclear power plants seem to be 

Ihe answer. but there is much opposition 

to them. Without power to operate our 

plants, workers will not have jobs to perform. 

It is very obvious that nuclear 

power plants arc necessary.

New Indexes May Require Contract Adjustments 

• Later this l1lu llth. the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics (BLS), U.S. Department of 

Labor. will publish three Consumer Price 

Indexes (CP I). Two of these indexes 

will be new and will reflect the January, 

1978. figures. The third is the existing 

index. which will be discontinued with 

the July. 197R, publication of the J une, 

1978. figures. Thereafter. the new Consumer 

Pricc Index for Urban Wage 

Earners and Clerical Workcrs, which is 

II . cvision of the present index, and the 

a1l-new Consumer Price Index for All 

Urban Consumers will be published 

monthly. 

All of the Indexes will be linked to the 

current levels of the CPl. with the base 

year staying at 1967 101), Differences 

will lie in the nature of the goods priced 

in the shopping baskets. the weights given. 

and the shopping habits of that part of 

the population that is considered. 

Ilevised Index 

The revised C PI for Urban Wage 

Earners and Clerica l Workers is being 

introduced to update the "market basket'· 

of goods and services on which the current 

index is based. The present index reflect 

s expenditures based on a Consumer 

I:xpenditure Sur,'ey for 1960-61; the revised 

index will reflect expenditures based 

on a survey covering 1972·7). In general. 

the revision WIll show a smaller portion 

of expenses allocated ror food. clothing. 

and medica l care, with a larger portion 

being allocated for housing and transportation. 

rent and revised indexes. The CPI fnr 

All Urban Consumers will have smaller 

allocations for food and transportation 

than the revised CPI for Urban Wage 

I;.arners and Clerical Worker~ but wi1I 

take into consideration larger outlays for 

housing lind medical care. 

..;fJecls on Agreements 

Collective bargaining agreements which 

contain e~atator clauses tied to the CPI 

should unrlrren careflll scrutiny. In gcneral. 

those local unions with contracts 

that provide for a cost-of. living adjustmen 

t after June, 1978. will have to trans· 

fer to the revised C PI for Urban Wage 

Earners lind Clerical Workers. which can 

be considered as the continuation of the 

existing CP!. 

The IDEW urges all local unions to resist 

any attempt to adopt the new C P I for 

All Urban Consumers. Because it reflects 

the spending patterns of professior.:\1 

people. the sel f-employed. the unemployed. 

and retirees-in addition to the 

urban wage and salary workers covered 

by the revised C P I-its coverage is tOO 

broad and will not accurately reflect the 

change in price of a market basket of 

goods and services purchased by the 

American worker. The C PI fUI Urban 

Wage Earners and Clerical Workers is 

an important ingredient in thousands of 

collective bargaining agreements 

Throughout its history. it ha~ been used 

as a yardstick to adjust income payments 

for mill ions of wage earners covered by 

esclliator c1aLl~('~ that provide for increases 

in wage rates when the CPI rises. The 

revised C Pt should be used as the continuation 

of that index in un attempt to 

maintain the Americlln worke(t purchasing 

power. 

Some local union agreements have 

quarterly adjustment provisions based on 

arca, or indivIdual city, indci\cs. rather 

than on the national index. In such a case. 

the lotal lInion will h:we to contact the 

regional office of the BLS to get official 

figures for two quarters of the lear. The 

rC3§On is that area indexcs will be publ 

i~hed every two months, instead of every 

three months. thereby missing two 

quarterly publication dates. 

BI..s has agreed to make oflicial estimates 

lor the missing two months available 

on request. Local union~ having such 

a provision in their agreements should 

write to the regional director of BLS in 

Ildvance of the release date. The leiter 

should ask the rcgional director to scnd 

copies of the "official estimate·' for the 

missing month to tht' Incal union ,lOd the 

employer. 

Although BLS may continue to provide 

these estimates for as long as three years. 

it is certain that the practice will not con 

tinue indefinitdy. Therefore. local unions 

so affected should do one of the following: 

( I) change over to the nationnl index 

ligures. (2) modi fy theIr contr(lcts 

to provide for six adjustments. instead of 

four, during the year. or (3) devise a 

means or retroactive adjustments. 

The present quarterly schedules for 24 

areas will be continued only through 

June, 1978. with publication of most area 

illrJexes ('nding III April or May. 1978. 

BImonthly indexes for 28 areas, using the 

revised index. will be phased in at differ· 

ent starting dates during the period from 

Junuary thrOUGh June. 1978. When the 

schedule is firm, one set of local areas 

will have indexes every other month beginnin).': 

with Jan uary. and the other SC i 

of local areas will have indexes every 

other month beginning with February. 

At present, five areas--Chicago. lIl inois 

Northwestern Indiana; Detroit, Michi).':a n; 

Los Angeles. l..ong Beach. Anaheim. California: 

New York, New York-Northeastern 

New Jersey; and Philadelphia, 

r ennsyl\'ania New Jersey-are priced 

evcry month. This practice will continue. 

New All Urban Index 

The main difference in the all-new CPI 

for All Urban Consumers-and the primary 

reason for its introduction- is the 

fact that it reflects the spending pattern~ 

of retirees. the unemployed. the self-cmployed, 

and managerial and professional 

workers, in addition to the urban wage 

and salary workers included in the CUTt

WIT'" Y"'E L~DIES 

The [Duris 01 loue 

• If the months were expressed in 

symbolic terms reflecting the mood and 

character of the season, February would 

be sketched as a lime of reflection, penance, 

and hardship. Dark days of winter 

when the unyielding ice and snow seem 

determined to slay forever. The beginning 

of the Lenten season around the 

world when the festivities of Mardi Gras 

stand in stark contrast to the fasting and 

abstinence of Ash Wednesday nnd the 

forty days which follow. It is the momh 

missing an end; the month the groundhog 

proclaims six more weeks of winter 

weather; II lime of snow shovels and 

stalled cars. 

Yel thefe are bright spots in the month 

of February. Two U.S. Presidents arc 

paid homage during Ihe month as the 

nation reflects ils founding and maturalion 

Ihrough the Revolutionary and Civil 

War periods. And of course there is St. 

Valentine's Day. when eternal love is 

pla"ed on a pedestal for all to admire. 

Chivalry is once again brought to the 

fore as sentimental cards and bouquets 

of flowers arc sent from suitors to favorite 

Indies. A much awaited dny. A 

shining gem in the middle of a rather 

mundllne month. 

Today's traditions surrounding St. 

Valentine's Dn y are somewhat dimmed 

when compared to the times when love 

encompassed not only heans but kingdoms; 

when chivalry wns the law of the 

land in the COllrl.\ of love. 

As is true throughout history all social 

class developments result from economic 

conditions. In periods of economic 

stahility leisure time evolves for II portion 

of the population which then traditionally 

turns toward educational and cultural 

endeavors 10 fill the void. So it was in 

Europe when after the collapse of the 

vast Carolingia n empire in the ninth 

century, small kingdoms arose, ..... here 

a. lord governed his people, primarily 

farmers, who cultivated his land, foughl 

for him in banle, and whom he pro· 

tected and sustained in the confines of 

the castle in winter. Most who worked 

for the lord were owned by him lind were 

completely dependent on llil! self-sufftcient 

castle for Iheir livelihood. Those 

who served the lord in bailIe were eventually 

granted land for thei r services, but 

to keep them loyal a socia l class wa.), developed 

in which membership was a great 

honor. The society of knights brought 

culture and refinement to the feudal 

society. 

Southern France became the center 

of knighthood where the distinction in 

class was pursued through etiquette, dress. 

education, and law. A code of feudal law 

swore knights to eagerly destroy the 

enemies of the church and the lords; be 

generous to the dcfl:all!d ; and other noblc 

endeavors. As for social behavior, no less 

than a cannon law instigated by a Pope, 

called Ihe " Peace of God" ruled the lives 

of the court. Knights vowed to protect 

the poor, travelers, and widows, and 

conduct themselves in a manner befitting 

their station. This later bc

held an extremely large coun composed 

o f both ladies and gcntlemen. Shc taught 

them slrict mo rals and her court was 

renowned for politeness, nobi lity, and 

refinement. The ladies of the cast les 

were honored in tournament!' by the 

knights who showed thei r prowess and 

skills with delight. sporting the color of 

their ladics on their coats. If victorious 

the lady would bestow her crown of victory 

u'pon her knight. Her life was not 

only that of the pursued, however. she 

was the mistress of the castle and was 

responsible for its domestic upkeep. 

which in those times was comparable to 

running a large hotel. 

The love of a lady was not only won 

on the jousting field, but through praise 

and accolade in the form of lyrics. This 

type of poetry was introduced into Spain 

with the Moor invasion and later became 

the height of fashion in the courts of 

France where the subject was always 

love. Poems were at times wrillen in 

letter form to a knight's favorite lady, 

extolling her charm and virtue. Some 

were in the form of a debate and recited 

by two knights, the more talented orator 

winning her favor. l\bny times these 

debate-poems were made up on the spot 

adding to the excitement of the contest. 

It was during the winter months when 

o utdoor acti vi ties were abandoned thllt 

great g:ltherings would ensue in the main 

hall of the ca~tlc. The lyrical poetry and 

great love debates wera only part of 

the entertainment. Troubadours, traveling 

minstrels. sang songs and told tales of 

limes pasl. The stories were called epic 

cycles. developed on pilgrim routes and 

on bailie fields; they told of adventure. 

heroic deeds. victories, valor, and defeat. 

All the wooing. reciting. and jomting 

were " rules" so to speak, in the courts 

of love. Ideally, the love sick knight was 

to have onl y viewed his lady from afar 

and fallen hopelcssly in love with her. 

This, of course, was not the case. The 

robust knights preferred their love to be 

known to them. When married, particularly 

to a lord or other noble of higher 

status, she became all the more attractive. 

The capture of her heart was then more 

challenging as the knight risked banishment 

or death if the trUlh be found out . 

lt seems though, that the women reAlly 

had the upper hand in these afTairs of 

the heart. Married at the age of 12 or 14 

a womall might have as many as four or 

five husb:mds during her lifctime due 

to the high mortality rate of the men. 

Uut , all is fai r in love and war :Ind 

these times of knights. lords and ladies. 

and maidens fai r have brought to us 

many tAles of magical love. It was an 

enchanting lime, one that is again 

brought to mind in the month of February 

in the celebration of SI. Valentine's 

Day.

This is an :Ippeal from II dcci~ion rendered by the International 

Vice President upon charllCll flied agai nst Brother

Vice President Moore was assigned to investigate the charges. 

The record before the Int ernlltion(ll Executive Council shows 

that the chargl..'S were properly flied: u hearing was conducted 

at which lime the accu:.ed had ample opportunity to racc his 

accusers and to pre:.ent evidence and testimony on his own 

defense of the charges. 

The International Executive Council has reviewed the action 

and the dC{:ision tnken by the International Vice President. who 

ruled the appellant guilty as charged of violating Article 

XXVII , Section I. Subsections 3 and II of the IBEW Constitution. 

International President " illard upheld the Vice President's 

decision. 

After consideration of all the record before it, the Inter· 

national Executive Council confirms the decision of the Inlernatio 

nal President.

A PPEAL OF Kf:NNET Il JO HNSON 

This appeal arollC out of charges flied a&ainst the above· 

ci ted Brother by International Vice President Duke alie&i ng 

violations of certain ~pccitic anicles and M!C tl on~ of the IBEW 

Constitution. 

President Pillard assigned Vice Pr~ident Moore to in\cstigate

The appeal of the llbove IJrother i ~ denied. 

A I' I' t:A!. O F LOCAL JJ4 

A Jurisdiction dispute arose between Local 334, IBEW, and 

Local 2 11 . lBEW, over (hc Installation of high voltage underground 

di:.tribution system at the Atlantic City Sewage Treatment 

Plant, the NEFAC Air Base and the Cape May Coast 

Guard Station_ 

International Vice Pr~i dent Barry, after a thorough investigation 

was conducted by hIS omce-including jOint meetings 

with both p:lrtles on thc job site, ruled as follows: 

"The ,""ork 10 question IS not pan of a dIstributing system. 

It is electrical work within property lines on a given 

property. Therefore, the jurisd iction of the ..... ork belongs 

to loca l 2 11." 

Du ~inc-\os Managcr J o~eph J. Menardy, on behalf of Local 

334, IBEW, appealed Ihis decision. Internation:ll President 

Pillard citi ng Article XXVIII. Sections 4 and 5 of the IBEW 

Constitution concurred with the decision of Vice President 

Barry. 

After a clm.;ful review of the facts. the lEe sustains the 

decision rendered by Intern:l tional President Pillard. 

AI' I'E'\L OF JOliN A. IIARRISON 

On February S, 1971, Ihe Trial Board of Local 1011, IBEW, 

San Francisco, California, found Brother John A. Harrison 

guihy of violating Article XXVII, Section I, Paragraphs 7, 8. 

and 9 of the IBEW Constitution and aW:lrded a leiter of 

reprimand 10 Brother Harrison. 

The Trial Board ruk'd Ihat Brother Harrison had: 

(a) circulated amongst the membership misrepresentations-specifically 

misinterpretations of the collective. b:lrgaining 

agreement betwccn members of the ORTT and 

Ihe Paci fi c N o rthwe~t Bell Telephone Company. 

(b) sent statements which containcd untruths about the 

LU. and its officers-specifically that Leavitt and Elison 

"signed it off" (the contract) and then wasted union 

money in arbitration. The contract was only signed off 

after a referendum vote of the members approved it and 

the SA was arbitrated only after Executive Board approval. 

Feb",ory. 191. I 1\

MINUTES AND REPORT OF THE INTERNA TlONAL 

EXECUTIVE COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING 

BEGINNING NOVEMBER 28, 1977 

(c) with the vehemence with ""hich Harrison made his 

statement and its misinterpretalions, the Board held that 

Il arrison's slatemenl!> were nOI in the besl interest of the 

LV ...... ere nOI aimed at furthering cooperation in working 

out mutual problems, but instead were aimed at creating 

dis~en~ion :lIld dbtrust amongst the membership toward 

pasl and present ofllcers of Ihis L.V. 

11 was the instruclions of the Trial Board to Harrison that 

he adhere 10 the IDEW Constitution in Ihe future. 

The Trilll Board pointed out that it was due to consideration 

of Harrison's long lenn of good standing in the ORTI 

thai he was awarded a reprimand mlher thlln a mOTe serious 

punishment, 

Drother lIarrison appealed unsuccessfully 10 International 

Vice President Vinson and International President Pillard. 

In reviewing the file in this ease, it is most clear thlll tirother 

Harrison, a unit recorder. read into the minutes at the Unit II 

meeting on No\'ember 16. 1977. a prepared statement (not 

a di sc u~ion) in reference to hi~ iUlcrpret31ions of the Collective 

Bargaining Agreement between the employees and Pacific 

Northwest Tctephone Company, and his expressed opinions 

of the local union and its onkers in the matter of negotiations 

and arbitration. 

Harrison wa~ aware and knowledgeable of Ihe fact that 

minut ~ of the unit meeting would be read at Ihe other meetings 

of the other unils of Local 1011. The Trial Board felttbat 

Ihe misuse of the minutes of the unit meeting did not afford 

the officers or Local 1011 the right 10 confront his statements. 

The specific dUlies of the unit recorder of Local 1011 are 

to take (lccumte minutes of the unit meeting 3nd to forwa rd 

the~ minutes to the recording secrelary of the local union. 

Minutt.) are nOI 10 be used for (lny self-serving purpose. 

It is the decision of the IlIh':lIIalional Executive Council that 

this appeal be denied.

An article that appn rcd in the Oclober muc

of work." I think this holds true in aU juris· 

dictions. not just Local 64g· .. Work rn SI. l ouis

lo

ship m«ling wat: held in BinRhamton in September, 

19.52, I nd has co n :ino u~y held meetings si nce 

th at date. Until 15168, our apprenticcs were in_ 

structed at North His School. Today wc have our 

own cllurooms and our appren tke-s are instruc::ed 

by our own journeyman wiremen. With 

material from the National Joint Apprenticeship 

li nd T raining Committee our Dp p ren t i~es are provided 

wit h II bener education. 

Through negoti:l.lions our members have been 

provided wit h ma ny benefit'l unheard of by those 

\lriginal IS members. I'm sure the provision of 

long·term disability for those members who nre 

unable to work d ue to a prolonged illnu'l hu 

ea!!oCd t~ir fin~nc:i.l burden and the local union 

pension, starting in 1963, has m!lde: it c:asier for 

our members to retire. 

To Bllthe offict:" Dnd commiuce members, past 

and present, who ha~ liven of their time to 

makc thi'! a beller local we e~tend II he!lrtlelt 

thanks. 

In June, 1976, we honored our old_timers und 

tricd to convey to them our than'" for all they 

had done. We all tnow t~y planted tM: seed 

of harvest we rcap today. 

On thi~ date, November S, 15171, we again 

renew our appreciation to our Brothers of 75 

ye:ars ago, and mol' we always remember our 

hi ~tory. Donald Gioia. 

Also it should be: noted tha t we have one of 

the be.r ~ecretarie~ in the illl;:W, Mn. Caressa 

Uro"'n, who was honored Dnd received a plaque 

Pt the dinner for her 20 years of service to the 

local. Without her Hpert help on many of the 

insurance claims and other paper work, many 

of our Brothers would be lost. I spuk for every. 

one in our IOCII, thank you, Caressa, for the 

Ireat job you are doing. 

Work in OUr area has improved somewhat. We 

nre now back on II. 40·hour workweek and hope 

thi~ will hold until at least after Ihe holidays. 

Bowlinll season i'I in full swinl and our two 

te3ms Are rlning fine once nain. We hope Ihey 

eontinue the good work.

June 14. with OflCn meet in!:! held at the 

major centres of Fredericton. SI. John, and 

Moncton. The turnout of New Brunswick 

Power Clerical employees was somewhat 

disappointing: however. Ihe committee was 

heartened by Ihe spirit a nd st r~n glh of thu~e 

who did allend and the Organizing Committee 

of SiSler Kress and 8rolhers Cole, 

Whitehead, and Jollymore was expanded by 

the addition of enthusiastic employees of the 

Commission. 

The expanded eornmi l1 ee met on a weekly 

basis. was versed on how to answer questions 

concerning Ihe lIJEW and the campaign 

and was supplied with organi:ting kits. 

AI this point, in order 10 reach everyone 

in the Province, the fiut of four organizing 

newslellers was sent out to all New Brunswick 

cltrical employees acros., the Province. 

As the resull of the newsletter. signed 

cards started to come in from across the 

Province, the response was heartening 

enough thlll a two week tour of the Province 

was undertaken. The response to Ihe lour 

and the support ~hown was excellent. The 

commiUee was again expanded. 

The indie:lled support from around Ihc 

Province appeared substantial to our success. 

However. due to the high lurnOver of 

starr :Ind with Ihe majority being employed 

in thc largcr cenlres, Ihc committee was 

sti ll far short of the number of applications 

reqllirc(1 JO achieve a safe majority and to 

make an applicalion (or certification. 

In order not to lose its momentum Ihe 

committee split into teams of two to tackle 

the onerous job of knocking on doors in all 

auempt 10 oblain the number of cards required 

to make an appliealion not only 

possible. but successful. 

House calls continued without lei-Up for 

a number of weeks before the commitlee 

finally reached its objective for signcd cards 

and thc required (by Inw) $ 1.00 application 

fee. Local 2309 made an application for 

Certification based on over 65 percent support 

of Ihe employees on September 17, 

1977. There was no opposition or intcT'iention 

riled with Ihe Labour Board and Ihe 

hearing on the application October 22. was a 

formalily nlld a Certificate for CertifiClilion 

as bargaining agent was Issued by Ihe Labour 

Board. 

The organized Commiltee held a final 

meeting on November 17 10 celebrate thc 

granting of the Certificate. Conwalulalions 

arc in order for all who assiSted and gave 

so much o f their lime \0 make this campaign 

a ~ ucc ess . In addition \0 the In1Croationai 

Representatives involved. special tribute is 

paid tu L~ul 2228 for their foresight in 

realizing that our strength [ies in organizing 

the unorganil.ed and appointing Brother 

Joll)'more as an assistant business manager 

10 assist I BEW local unions in the First 

Districl in organizing their jurisdiction; and 

10 Brothcr John Cole, business manager of 

Local 2309, for puuing the campaign togelher. 

Most important to the success of this 

cnmpaign was the cooperation and assistance 

of Ihe employees of the New Brunswick 

J'ower Commission. Without their support 

and cooperation Ihe campaign could not

How he had modestly said,
