The Idea of Union Members Bearing the Blame
For the Current State of the Economy Is Not
Only Unfortunate, But Ridiculous
~ Today, organized labor constantly is being hammered at by anti-union
forces so much that, in many cases, the general public is beginning to believe
that millions of workers who earn their daily livelihood under collective
bargaining contracts are some kind of monsters trying to destroy the economic
progress of the United States and Canada. Nothing is further from the truth
than the misconceptions and the false propaganda put out by these selfish,
greedy people. They are paid well to attempt to cripple the economic structure
By Charles H. Pillard of the workers, which we have st ruggled for generations to achieve.
'Mernational President
Organized workers who choose the union way of life do not have to take
unfair criticism from these parasites who do not have the backbone to stand
up for the principle that all peoples are entitled to human dignity. Organized
workers sllould not be discriminated against and blamed for tile economic ills
of poor governmenta l leadership.
The record proves, with few exceptions, that members of unions in the United
Slates and Canada are hard-working. devoted people, earnest and patriotic
in their efforts to make a better way of life for all the citizens and to have a
coun try that has security and equality for all societies.
Efforts to blacken the image of unions is nothing new. Unions have been
under attack since their beginnings as organizations. But today, generations
later, the attack has been shifted, and the individual worker is being wrongfully
named a culprit in his community_
Because of the constantly-changing economic condItions existing in our
society, our members cannot remain with the status quo in the amount of
wages they receive. The cost of living is stIli rising. Union members. who by
their increased productivity Ilave brought tremendous profIts to the employers
and the stockholders of the huge conglomerates, are being asked not to
demand a living wage. When the workers. through their unions, reject this line of
thinking by management at the bargaining table, the workers then are accused
of ruining tile economy and are pointed out to the public as culprits. Maybe
we who are in the trade labor movement expect too much understanding from
those outside of It, but we know we can justify our actions. The idea of union
members' bearing the burden of blame for the slate of the economy is.
not only unfortunate, but ridiculous.
I urge alllBEW members to redouble theIr efforts at being good CItizens
and working even harder for the good of their communitIes as a whole. I also
ask our members to identify their community efforts as beIng performed by
members of organized labor , by members of our Brotherhood . In this way,
we accomplish not only our community responsibility, but we can also make
progress In improving our public image and bringing about better
understanding with those who do not have a bargaining voice.

on I DEW policy regarding the con-

In his address, I}resident l}ilIard
emphasi7ed the anti-union efforts of

groups in this country, both at thc
~tat e nnd nationnlle\'cl, who are try-
ing to dmg organized workers baek

The Nixon Administration ' s plan to cut business taxes
by allowing firms t o claim bigger depreciation
allowances on equipment is -dead- wrong- economic
theory and of questionable legality, t he AFL- CI O
has charged in In ternal Revenue Service heari ngs on
t he proposed new regula ti ons. AFL-CIO Research
Director Nat Goldfinger testified that most of t he
revenue lost by the government , if the plan goes
through, will be pocketed by the nation' s largest
a nd richest corporations . Senator Birch Bayh (D- Ind.)
termed t he entire proceedings on the proposed tax
break -an elaborate charade," si nce the Treasury
officials had made it clear that the new rules will
go into effect -regardless of what is said or done
at the hearings . n
National Opinion Pollster Lou Harris has reported
tha t the concep t of National Health Securi ty, whi ch
has the s trong endorsemen t of the AFL- CIO. also
has the approval of the American people by 55 t o 30
per cent . Harris reported th e favorable response t o
new federal legislation aimed t oward 8 a comprehen sive
health insurance program which would combine federal
government, employer, and employee contribu ti ons
in t o one heal t h insurance program .- The only form
of insurance now before Congress that fits this
description is legislation backed by the AFL- CI O and
introduced by Representatives Martha W. Gr iffiths
(O- Mich . ) and James Corman (O- Calif . ) and Senators
Edward M. Kennedy tD- Mass . }, William Saxbe (R- Ohio ) .
a nd John Sherman Cooper (R- Ky . ) . The Harris poll also
found that 48 per cent of the public was worried that
they might not be able to choose their own physician .
The labor- backed health care system allows freedom
of choice .
Congress has approved a compromise one - year extension
of the right of the President to impose wage, price,
and rent controls . This one - year extenSion was a
compromise between the six- month extension proposed
by t he Senate Banking Committee and the two-year
extension supported by the Nixon Administration .
LeaderS of international unions representing 200 , 000
General Electric and Westinghouse employees hit
at the two huge corporations for their overseas
operations and prepared to launch countermeasures .
The esc, meeting in Cleveland, Ohio, noted that GE ' s
overseas work force is increasing at five times
t he rate of th e U. S . force and t hat Westinghouse
now controls more t han 40 overseas companies .
"Profits, not patriotism, are the goals of these
corporations," the CSC said . The CSC is now looking
to 1973 negotiations .

THE ELECT" IC Al WOlt k U S'

"
 sampling of I BEW :lgree ments indi-
cates that we now ha\'e over 300
local unions which operate on a
work week of less than ·W hou rs.
I'aid Vac:lliolls :md Holida~ s
Prior to the 19405. most workers
were paid by the hour or by the
number of items they produced.
Whe n they took time off for a \aca·
tion or a holiday. Ihey forfeited the
money they could have earned in
that time. Since the n. there has
been a steady increase in paid V;IC3-
tions and p:tid holidays among full·
time workers. By 1968, two- thirds
of the no n-fann workers in this na-
tion were receiving paid vac:llions.
Not only were most Americans re-
ceiving paid vacations. but oflke
and plant workers were reeei\i ng an
average of eight paid holidays a
year. The Ircnd tow:trd negotiating
longer vacations and mo re holidays
should continue througho ut the 70s
as marc and more \\ orkers express
the ir desire fo r greatcr ;lmOllll\.') of
leisure time.
Longer Life rind Earlier I~ clire lllenj
\\:ly. Why, then , do so Illany people
fcc l they have so little leisure? The
40·hour work week may be stand-
ar(]. but it is far from uni\ ersal.
Many people !>Iill work at jobs that
no rmall y exceed this st:tnd ard.
Others work overtime or t:lle a
second job in order to mcet house-
hold expeno!.es. to pay for ad\ anet!d
education. to purchase a fe\\ Iuxul)
item ... o r to pa) outstanding debts.
Still o thcrs spend a considcrable
amount of thcir free time worl.ing
on do-it-yourself projects (\\ hieh is
essentially on ly the subst itution of
unpa id labor fo r the earning of in·
come) a nd on the maintenance and
<,en-icing of their durable goods.
The Future of Leisurc
How much leisure can \\1.' expect
in the future? The r:lte of prOLlue-
tivi lY, the needs of e mploY';"J"s. the
technical eOI1!>t raints imposed by in-
d ustrial equipment. the changes in
the occu p:l!ional and indmt ria l
struc ture , and the degree of cm-
phasis that workers and unions
place on shorter hours-as o ppo)'ed
lebure. 'the work week could fall 10
22 hours by 1985, or it would be
neeessal) to work only 27 weeks of
Ihe )ear, or the retirement .Igc
could be lowered to 38 years.' ,. Of
courSi.'. this i:. not likely to happen:
not c\cr)onc prefers increased Ici-
~urc to increased earnings. But it is
cert'li n that leisure lime will in-
crc:ISC.
Th . . ;\1:IIIY Forms of Ll'is ure
There are many fomls th is lei-
sure could take. The length of the
work \\eel. or the work da) could
be reduced further. Vacatio ns could
be ntended or the number of holi·
days incrcased. So far. those h:l\e
been the most popular trends. But
there are many other possibilities.
Sabbaticals. those eXlended periods
of lea": al regular intervals that
college t eac h cr~ have enjoyed for
such a lo ng time. could be modified
to fit the needs of many other occu·
pmions. The steelworkers havc ;11·
ready useu this principle success-
fully. T ime spent in school could be
e>. tended. thereby increa~i ng our

r Not only is lhe work week-now

spiced with paid vacations and holi-
days-getting shorter, but the gap
betwee n the work lifc and the total
life of an individual is gelling larger.
Betwecn 19(}() a nd 1960, men
gai ned 18 years in life expectan cy;
women gained 22. During the same
length of time. the work life of mcn
increased by only nine ~cars; that
of women only 14. Therefore. Ix)th
men and wOlllen can look fo,"", aru
to at least eight more years spent
o utside the labor force. But e\en if
life cx peetancy were to !>tabilize.
the proportion of an individual"s
time spen t earni ng a living \\ould
still decreasc. This is because there
is a growing impetus toward early
retiremelll in the United States to-
• day. Through the benefits afforded
by collect ive bargaining, the normal
to more money-have been thc de-
termining factors in the past ; 1I1(]
will continuc to influence the

 Th e Flowers Th at Linger On
.... Lndies. sum Iller is the time
of year when beautiful flowers arc
everywhere :md beautifu l bouquets
of freshly-cut nowers n.:gulnrly
grace the living room. Many of you
I.. dies probably have your own
beautiful flower beds ,lIld c ...·cn rn .. ke
flo .... er raising :I !.Crious hobby. But
how unfortunatc it is that nature's
lovely blooms (;Ide and will so
quickly.
Well, ladies, you can enjoy your
flo\\ers longer by taking mea!>urcs to
preserve them, and you .... ill then
ha ... e them in your horne long after
your gard\.·n is barc o
Pl!rh:lps. SOIllI! of you ladies have
instructions for drying 1I0\... ers
tucked away in some niche. but
you don' t remember where. Well,
just re:ld o n if you arc dead serious
about preserving some !lowers for
a muc h later da te.
There arc various methods of
preserving flowers. depending upon
the types of flowers they arc. Three
of them arc air-dryi ng, borax and
cornmeal. and si lica gel.
A ir. Dryi ng Method
Grandma used the first method,
and it is still the best onc for dry-
ing baby's breath, globe amar:lI1th,
bclls-of- Ireland. Chinese lanterns.
artemesia. goldenrod. yarrow. lark-
spur. strawflowl!rs. lavender. Queen
Annc's lace. money plant, cattails,
corn tasscis, gra!>ses. milkweed pods,
etc.
When usi ng the air-drying
method. pick the flowers-only per-
fect alles-when their moisture
content is the lowest- in the morn-
ing, after the dew has dried , and
. THE ELECTRICAL WORKU S'
in the ;Iftcrnoon. RClllove all leavcs
and tic the flowc rs in small bunches
of three or four blooms. Put each
bunch ( Hower p:lrt first) in a large
paper bag Ihat has bc..:n perforated
for v..:ntil'ltion. ;md hang bags in a
warm. dry, and dark place. The
attic is ;m "tecllent place. bcc:luSC
it is dry and dark enough so that
the colors will not fade tOO much.
C heck the nowers evcry fo.:w
days; if any arc mild..:wetl. relllove
them ;nulledi;Hcly as they will dam-
age the othe rs. One to thrce wec ks.
depending upon the flowl!rs. arc rc-
quired for them to be pcrfectly
dri..:d. When they lIrc dried, remove
them from thc paper bags and put
thclll in a place free from dust.
Ror.lX and Cornmeal Method
llle bora .. and cornmeal method
is recollllllcnded for daffodils. dais-
ies. love-i n-a-mist. marigolds, roses.
zi nnias. scarlet sag..:. etc. To pre-
p:lre the mixture. usc onc part borax
powder to six parts of .... hite corn-
me:II, and mix thoroughl). Pour
about IWO inches of the mixture
into a paper bag (size of bag de-
pends upon the size of flo .... l.'rs) and
g\!ntly place fl owers (!lower parts
first) 011 top of the ll1;xturl.' in the
bag. Theil, care full y pour the rest
of the mixture around the flowers
Ulltil they aI'\! completely covcrcd.
Seeure the bag and h:lIlg in :I dry,
dark room. This method also rc-
quires as many as three \\ceks fo r
drymg, depending upon th..: weather.
Silica Gel Met hod
The quickest way to dry flowers
is by using si lica gcl, which can
be obtained at garden centers. The
merit of this product is that it
dries flowers more rapidly. and thus
the flowcrs retain more of their true
color. Follow the dircctions on the
package.
Your dried flowers wi ll last a
long timc, and evcrytime you look
at them, you will call to mind
memorics of this summer you arc
about to enjoy.
Tha!"!> all . ladies.

 MY DAD
How do you say It all ou t loud?
He's dead and gone; he's passed away.
I w ill not lose him, I have vowed;
He 'lI live w it hin my heart each day.
The tears are hot and freely fl ow:
We mourn him each In his own way;
The healing Will, o f course. be slow,
But we 'll go on and face each day.
He taught us truth and how to love;
He gave to dear ones all he had;
I know he smiles from Hea ven abov.e.
Oh, pain of saying, " He was my Dad."

MY DAD
My dad was a man; he was a man to Dh, God, wh at have I ever done

He was a man to me;
He was a man to my sisters and

My dad was a s re at fat her;
He wa s a father to Jack, Jan, Tim,

I never will forget th e wonderful thin gs

FROM A GRATEFUL FATHER
Ou t 0 1 the grief and anguish
That made up t he days of my life,
A ray of hope wa s granted me
When you said you'd be my Wife.
You knew, as only angels wou ld,
When our marflage had begun,
That each man hopes that his ',rst·born
Will hopelully be a son.
You granted me thiS deep deSire;
My son made me a dad,
And for SIX, wonderful, long years,
He trul y made me g lad .
But, in your angel wisdom,
And so that I wouldn' t spoil the ',rst,
You gave to him a brother.
And now, the only emptiness,
The love that I'd never known,
You gave me a beautiful daughter,
Who was welcomed to our home.
To deserve th iS love d,vme
That started when You took Your very
best
And made I nat angel mine.

A GREAT MAN
He wa s a man we all d id love;
Now, he's gone; he's up above.
He was swee t , good. and kind.
When people hurt him, he didn't mind;
If someone needed help, he did all he
could.
Some people are bad, bu t he was all
good;
" ' ''''~.''
I loved him too; he was my Dad.
He loved hiS mUSIc; he played in
bands.
Who was thiS man? Don Grosshans.

TO DAD ON FATHER 'S DAY
The question comes up every Father's
Day-
How to honor Dad in a special way.
This d ilemma st ill unresolved
Must soon be solved,
Ere Father's Day rolls around
And I, empty· handed, am found.
My first chOIce of a gift would be
The peace of God eternally,
But t his gIlt runs agamst man's ways
And IS oft en neglected in man's days.
My seecond choice, far second at th at,
Is for lools th at Will stand pat,
Not wander all around
And hide and not be found.
Vacations and less work are voices
That have ru ng in my head as choices,
But I have not t he power
To brmg either to !lower.
long life. happiness, and health .
Coupled with a degree of wealth,
Are wi shes th at wo uld Ilft-
But still, t hey're not a gift.
Omner, mOVies, a night on the town-
That's a way thiS day to crown.
But that Is impoSSible, you see,
For when ou t of town, that cannot be.
There is always a stand·by,
Like a handkerchief or a tie.
But although it's the thought t hat
counts.
A tie my Imagmation flaunts.
There IS only one thmg left, I know-
A sum of money on Pop to blow,
On himself only to be spent
And not saved, shared, or lent.
May t hiS present, if only in a common
way,
Make th is, Dad, a very special day.
