Challenges Facing
Labor Today
Are The Greatest
In Fifty Years
" Labor m u st continu e
10 raise its 'vo ice against
ul/ em ploy m en t, ;" llatioll ,
ull /air taxes (Ind. allre r
economic ills."
Labor history down through
the years relales that while orga-
nized labor has continually fought
to protect the rights of workers,
trade unions and the ir members
have always been very much in-
volved in efforts to solve national
and local economic and soc ial
p roblems that have confronted
not o nly workers but all of the
people. Unions arc composed of
hard-working persons who a fC
sincere and devOIcd in their pa-
triotiC cll"orts to achIeve a better
way of life with security and
equality for all segments of our
socie ty. Although organized
labor's contributions in improving
the qunlity of life for everyone
have not received the cred it they
so ri chly deserve, many of the
economic and socia l benefi ts cn~
joyed by everyone today were
obtained through the uni ted efforts
of orgalli.o;d labor. However, labor
cannot rest on its laurels; because
the challenges facing labor today
are the grea test in Ilfty years. All
the ga ins that have been made on
behalf of workers in the last half
cen tury arc in great jeopardy from
a ttacks by the Rcagan Adminis~
tration and its anti-union reaction-
a ries.
For the first time in history,
millions and millions of workers
have been thrown alit of work in
the namc of fi ghting inflation.
Also, labor standards enacted
for the protection of workers
against ex ploitation by unscrupu-
lous employers have been so
weakencd they are virtually mean-
ingless as prOiective measures for
workers. Education, housing, civil
right!), health ca re, unemployment
insura nce, minimum wages, c hild
labor and prevailing wage and job
safety should be major economic
and 'inci;! l respomibilitics of any
Administration and not vilified
and disregarded in favor of tax
cuts to the wealthy and big cor-
porations. The issues are clear
enough; labor must continue to
rai~c its voice aga inst unemploy-
mcnt, inflation, unfair taxes und
other economic ills that are caus-
ing injustices to the workers, the
poor and the eldcrly. Reaganom-
ics has not worked, and the econ-
j
omy is still withering with over
10 nlli lion workers who need and
want jobs and can find no jobs;
J
.•
and until that situation changes
no one can boast the economy is
heating up.
Organized labor once aga in
must resort to uni ting together as ••
workers and as trade unionists in
defense of the gains we have made
toward b ringing about a society
where there is opportuni ty and
justice for all. We should con-
tinue striving for a full employ- •
ment economy and onc where no
person or group is excluded or
treated unfairly.
Labor's gai ns come through
hard work at the bargaining tub Ie,
in the legislative chambers, and if
necessary in the courts of the land .
We wil l not stand by and sec all
the advantages that arc a benefit
to workers and their fami lies
cast aside by our enemies in their
IUSI fo r greed a nd power. There-
fore. I urge £III I BEW mcmbers
to do wha tever they can to mobil-
ize un ion members and their fam- ••
ilies to support peuple who know
and think the most important pol-
icies arc thc ones that wi ll benefi t
all peop le and not just a favor ite
few.

On M ay 30, 1980, the NLRB con-

a majo rity o f the ballots were casl
agai nst representation by any union.

IBEW Objecls to Elec:tio n

On June 6, 1980, the IBEW filed
'" objections to conduct affecting the
results of the election and alleged thaI
Sharp had intimidated and threatened
..... its employees to the point where easl-
ing an uncoerced sec ret ballot was im-
possible. Trial began on J uly 22nd and
conti nued through 7 full days o f testi-
mony, 259 separa te exhi bits and 1,609
pages of transcript. Because of the tre-
mendous fear of reprisal genera ted by
Sharp's object ionable anti-union tac-
tics. employee witncsses were extremely
reluctant 10 te.:;tify and would appear
c:: only under subpoena. On September
9th the NLRB issued its decision con-
firming Sharp's elect ion interference
and recommcnding that the May 30th
--... election be sct aside and a new election
>'\.. orde red. The IBEW had proven its
case; bu t, instead of admitting its guilt
and correcting its conduct, Sharp im-
mediately began a long and costly
appeal.
In August 1980 the Teamsters ad-
~
vised the N LRB that they wcre with-
drawing from the Sharp proceedings

withdrew. T his left only IB EW and

True to form. Sharp rejected this
request and continued its anti-union
activities.
Unrair Labor Practices
The IBEW first filed unfair labor
practice charges against Sharp on
August 23, 1980. Thereafter, sever,,1
amended c harges were filed. On Octo-
her 16, 1980, the NLRB Regional
Director iss lied the first complaint and
no tice of hearing against Sharp in
Case No. 26-CA~86 1 O. This complaint
alleged th at Sharp had interrogated
employees as to their union senti ments,
threatened to move the plant if its
employees voted for IB EW representa-
tion, lold employees that Ihey were
receiving less-than-superior evaluations
because they supported the IB EW,
refused to al10w employees to usc the
internal grievance procedure because
they supported the IB EW, announced
a wage increase in o rder to induce
employees not 10 support IBEW,
anno unced a plan to sell Sharp prod-
ucts to employees ilt ncar wholesale
prices in order to induce employees
not to support IBEW, announced a new
employee promotion system in order to
induce em ployees to withhold the ir
su ppor! from IBEW, told employees
they were being denied promotions
because they supported IBEW, threat-
ened to take away benefits if its elll-
ployees voted for 18EW, told em-
ployees Ih :1I they were "bei ng watched"
because they supported 18EW, told
em ployees that they could be "nailed
to the wall" for distributing mEW
literature, told employees thaI Ihey
were "stupid" for wearing IBEW bul-
Ions, told employees that strikes were
"inevitable" if the IB EW were chosen,
a nd distribution rule and enforced it
selectively and disparately, and com-
mitted other violations of the Act.
Sharp continued its alleged labor
law violations and the IBEW fil ed

Study Contradicts Anot her Myth

The myth thm Japanese industrial
workers are happier in their jobs and
have more comm itmen t to their work
than American workers evaporates
when subjected to careful st udy. ac-
cording to a recent report by a team
of Indiana University researchers.
The researche rs measured the atti-
tudes of :l,549 manufacturing workers
in cen tral Indiana and a slightly large r
sample of workers in a similar indus-
trial area of lapan. The findin gs show
American workers having significantly
higher levels of work commitment than
Japanese workers. Major conclusions
of the report included :
• 8 [ pereent of Americans said Ih('y
were satisfied wilh their jobs, compared
to .53 pereent of lapanese.
. 68 percent of America ns showed
"siJ;:l1ifk:alltly greate r" willingness to
work harder to help their companies.
compared to 44 percent of the
lapanese.
• 88 percell! of the American~ l:OIl-
sidered that n compnny and its employ·
ees are like a big family, and thought
a company should take care of its
workers. Only 36 percent of the
Japanese agreed .
• 62 percent of the Alllerican~ ~aid
they would recommend jobs like theirs
to their friends, compared to 15 per-
cent of the lapanese.
• 83 percent of the Americans were
satisfied with the tasks they work at,
compared to 53 percent of the lapa-
nc.'ic.
• 67 percent of the Americans, but
only 20 percent of the lapanese, said
they would choose the same job again.
The s\lJdy got the most positive re·
sponses from American workers at
plants where they felt manage ment ,
worked hard to foster good relation-
ships with employees.

AFL-CIO Pushes for Indust ri al Policy

Congress should act quickly to estab-
lish a national industrial policy whieh
would revitalize the U.S. industrial
base, to prevent a permanent lowering
of the American standard of living.
according to AFL-CiO spokesmen
testifyi ng recently before congressional
committees.
A major proposal by the A F L-CiO
is establishment of a National Reindus-
trializatioll Board which would have
gove rnment. union and business rcpre-
sentatives among its members. The
board would be charged with develop-
ing a program to rebuild troubled in-
dustries and develop new ones, fi-
nanced by government loans and gov-
ernment guarantees of private loans.
The AFL--CIO pointed out Ihe long
history of government promotion of
industriAl nclvancemcnt by providing
funds and guaranteeing loans. It also
endorsed congressional proposals to
provide money for resea rch into ways
of improving and developing industrial
processes and of developing advanced
training programs.

TEN WAYS TO
LIVE WITH GASOLINE
Once gasoline is pumped into a portable container for use around the home,
fire and explosions begin to happen. People are just not aware of its extreme
f lammability and often v iola t e every rule in the book when handling gasoline.
Are you awar e of the ease wit h which gasoline igni t es? H ere are ten ways to
avoid getting burned by gasoline :
I' Don 't s t o r e it in the wrong contai n er. If everyone stored gasoline in a UL-
approved container, gasoline fires would be dramatically reduced in number.
An approved container has a broad base that makes it almost impossible t o tip

rc over and a spring-loaded cap that prevents the inadvertent release of flammable
vapor.
D o n 't use it to c le an pa int brus h es. In most paint brush fires the gasoline is
touched off by a s tove pilot light, but in one case it was a candle. Any hardware
or paint store sells paint brush cleaning solvents that clean even better than
gasoline with less danger of a fire.
Don't s m o k e w h ile handling it. A cigarette or match can easily set off a
gasoline explosion or fire. Never smoke in a gas station.
Don 't u s e it n ea r an ignition s ource. Judging from newspaper accounts,

r water heater pilots are t he most commo n ignition source for gasoline fires. Some
fires occur when teenagers bring their bikes o r motorcycles into a basement or

[ kitchen to clean parts with gasoline. The volatile vapor finds its way to the pilot
li g ht o f a stove or water heater. N o one has an excuse to bring gasoline into living
quarters, since there is no legitimate use for gasoline inside.

t Don't use it to c lean floors . A F ort Worth man using a gasoline-soaked rag
t o clean floors lit a cigarette. The vapor exploded, and he was burned over 90
percent of his body.
Don 't flip a s w itc h . If you smell gasoline vapor, ventilate but don't provide

t an ignition source. Gasoline vapor'" needs only the sma llest spark to ignite. The
arc from an electric swi tch is enough .
L Don 't mistake it for something else . An eleven-year-old boy was badly

~
burned when he threw what he thought was water on a fire. It was gasoline.
Gasoline shou ld always be s tored in a property marked contai ner and out o f
reach of those too young to r ead and heed labels.
D o n 't u s e it to clean clothes . An Iowa woman burned her face and hands

l
i
when gasoline-soaked clothing in a waShing machine produced vapor that was
ignited by a spark from the motor. Some uninformed people also use it to dry-
clean clothes-with disastrous results.

I Don't use it to start a fire in the fire plac e . One Montana family did. When
the flames finally burned out, only the fireplace was left standing.
r Don't leav e it uncapped. In a Michigan fire , a two-year-old boy died and
l three other members o f his family wer e burned when vapor from an uncovered
can of gaso line stored in a stairwell was ignited by a gas refrigerator.

Don't let The Fight Against High Heating Costs
Result In Tragedy
October has arrived and v.jlh it the
approach of colder weather. Families
once again seek ways to inexpensively
and conveniently heat their homes;
bUI. all too frequently, they do not con-
~it.lcr the: potel1ti:11 hUl.anb uf ulX=raliug
space healers and kerosene heaters.
A Long fsland, New York, woman
was killed in a fire which oflicials be-
lieve began when a kerosene heater
was placed too close to wood paneling.
Kerosene heaters radialc heat in alI
directions. and this unit had been
placed only 8 10 10 inches from the
wall. More deaths ha ve been attributed
to Ihis popular type of healer than
from other Iypes. The tragedy could
have been prevented if safety directions
for installation and use had been fol-
lowed.
Space heaters arc popular because of
the high costs of heating homes, espe-
cially due to escalating oil and natural
gas prices. In addition to using these
heaters, families insulate their homes
to preve", drafts. Plugging drafts and
air leaks he lps lower fuel costs; how-
ever, this practice can be dangerous if
a space heater is ope rated. A lack of
adequate air circulation can cont ribute
to increased levels of ca rbon monoxide
and danger of :Isphyxiation. Whenever
a kerosene space heate r, or wood,
coal. o r gas stove, is employed, care
should be taken 10 provide adequate
ventilation. Always leave some win-
dows open a bit since any burning fuel
consumes the oxygcn in a room.
Kerosene is a volatile fuel. Concen-
trated kerosene (urnes can explode on
ignition. Fo r example, fumes from
kerosene stored in a basement could
be ignited by a wate r hcater's pilot
light. Fire hazards exist while a heate r
is in usc. Although the heaters are
provided with tipo\'er switches that
tum off the heating clement, spilled
fuel can ignite. Never fin the heater
when it is hot. Care also should be
taken not to overfill the heater with
cold fuel; it call overflow when the
liquid warms and expands.
The hot metal surfaces of kerosene
heaters can cause serious bums if they
arc touched. Keep children away from
20 I tBEW JOURNAL/OCTOBER 1983
them . Kerosene is also a highly toxic
poison. Inhaling Ihe substance can
cause a potentially fatal form of chemi-
cal pneumonia. Just one teaspoon of
the fuel possibly could kill a child.
Otherwise plopcl1y functioning ker-
osene heaters could be dangerous if Ihe
wrong fuel or grade of kerosene is
used. Low sulfur I-K kerosene should
be burned in the heater; however, un-
wary buyers occasionally afe sold the
higher sulfur content 2-K kerosene or
e\en home heating oil. These fuels
could cause dangerous buildups of sul-
fur dioxide and carbon monoxide
gases. Never use gasoline; it could lead
to cxplosion and fire.
Kerosene heaters are the latest fad
in home space heaters. Previously,
quartz radiant he3ters had blazed
across the market amid claims of en-
ergy savings and eflkient operation.
These heaters employ Ihe same princi-
ple as the sun's rays on a cold winter
day 3nd Ihrow off heat in the form of
infrared radiant energy.
Claims of g reat s3vings by using
quartz heaters have been found to be
exaggerated by a number o f quartz
heate r manufacture rs. These claims arc
based upon the fa ct that common con-
vection-type heaters must warm the
air in a room before the room's occu-
pants feel more comfortable. This re-
,1
!
quires a lot of energy. because the
large volume of air must first be
heated. In comparison, a quartz heater
produces infrared rays which warm
solid objects in their path without rais-
ing the air temperature of the room.
When used for the same amount of
••
time, a radiant heater and a convection
heater will utili7e the same amount of
energy, slIlce all resistance-type heat- •
ers (conveclion and radiant) produce
the same number of BTUs of heat per
watt.
Used properly under the right cir-
cumstan ces, qu artz heate rs can be
economical. For example, when used
in rooms with high ceilings or drafts
and where heat needs to be concen-
trated in only one spot, the healers are
more efficient than convection models.
This i)o Jut,: to Ihe shoner amount of
time the heater must operate to pro-
duce the same heating effect. If left
running all day o r night, it will use the
same amount of electricity as a con-
vection unit wi th simil ar wattage
ratings. >
The heaters shou ld be handled care-
fully because of their portable design,
which usually incorporales a vertical
heating clement, and their high operat-
ing temperatures. One ever-present
danger is that of the heater tipping
over. Because of this possibility, all
these heaters contain tipovcr switches;
although some of these swi tches are
1I10re cffective than others. When pur-
c hasi ng a unit, se lect one which has 3
switch th3\ shuts off automatically, re- •
gardless of the direction in which it
falls.
Space heaters can be effective we3p-
ons in the battle against rising energy
costs. They must be used with caution,
however. Never place them near flam-
mable objects, such as drapery, furni-
ture. or clothing. Do not allow children
to play near them or touch them. Al-
ways provide suflicient ventilation to
prevent the accumulation of poisonous
fum es. Finally, read and follow the
sllfety directions provided with each
unit for proper installation and use.

The 1I 0u5e voted 229·19 1 to put _ ccilina of
$120 on the amount any 'a~payer ,ould $live

If labor doesn't stall speakina up to our
