COMMENT
in support of the AFL--CIO's des~
ignared "Solidarity Day III " and
to kick off observance of Union
Label Week.
Because of the political climate
that has engulfed ou r nalion since
the Reagan Administration took
office nearly three years ago, Labor
Day 1983 finds the working people
of America, along with the poor,
sick and the elderly, without a
reason to rejoice or celebrate be-
cause the economic and social
policies of the Reagan Administra-
tion are the most anti-labor and
anti-people since The 1920s.
Labor's Voice Will Despite the daily media repons
originating from the White House
Be Heard On Labor an nouncing an economic recovery,
the national economy is still in a
deep recession. Interest rates are

led to nothing but the threat of

Labor Day festivities will also be have to change the course and have
rallying to make their voices heard regard for the human needs of
•
workers by having a full employ-
ment economy, fair lax policies and
programs thm will bring protection
.
and security to the poor and the
elderly.
"Solidarity Day ITr" will be a
day when a clear-cut message will
come from organized labor and all
civic organizations who agree with
labor's causes that the Reagan Ad-
,
ministration does not have the right
to take away workers' rights to
engage in free collective bargaining,
the right of workers to earn fai r
"
wages and have good working
conditions, with safety al the job
sile and that the poor and senior •
citizens have the right to have
economic and social security.
We also encourage mEW mem-
bers to purchase on ly goods and
products that are union made in
the United Stales and Canada re-
spectively. Make sure when purchas-
ing pnx.lucts 10 look ror the Union
Label, Shop Card, Store Cnrd or
Service BuHon. It is a way of fighting
against the exporting of North .f
American jobs overseas where labor
is exploited. Labor Day, "Solidarity
,
Day Il l" and Union Label Week
are all important milestones for
Qrganized labor this year to show
labor's unity and strength as it fights
for a full economic recovery and a
change in the political climate. J
am su re as in the past (BEW mem·
bers will be in the mainstream as
participants in labor's programs this
Labor Day.

High Technology and Jobs
Second of a two· part series
- of L.bor
In a continuing effort to downplay the
. long-lasting unemployment affecting our
I- n:uion and i t ~ workers, the Reagan Ad·
ministration repea ts its view tha t the
I economy is recovering and th:l t the
unemploymcnt problem will be solved
as our nalion beeomes a service·type,
igh technology provider. II has become
quile fashionable, in administration
circles, to rder to our economy as
one thai can thrive on high technology
l. .and service·oriented ind us tries.
While high technology ind us tries a nd
service industries can provide economic
gro\\ th and employment, caution must
be exerCIsed to avoid underestimating
Ihe importance of many industries that
arc basic to our nation's economy, inde-
pendence. and security. II has become
common in some circles 10 refer to Ihese
significant baSIC industries as "smoke·
stack ind\lstrie~," a label in itsclf that
seemingly connotes a nega tive image.
' T he steel. automotive and tra nsport:ll ion
l equipment, electrical equipment, and
l
many other industries arc all vi tal to the
Ileeds of our nation.
Through the ages. we ha\'e accepted
lechnological changes which alleviated un·
due hours of lobor and unbearable physi.
cal toil and which rewarded American
:.L"orkers with more hours of leisure and
the chance for a beller way of life. We
do no t oppose the usc of advanced tech·
L nologies nor the development of so·callcd
I high technology industries. Ho\\evcr, we
.. cannot rely o n 50·called high technology
I ind\l~ t rics to provide the jobs that will
t end unemployment in our nalion. We
cannot stand by and wa tch the dcstruc-
II tion of our industrial base a t home to
'- the profit or mulunational compa nies.
1 We cannot stand by and watch the 10«
of prestige to our nation. the huge trade
f. defiCit that I~ devastating our economy,
and the ever·growing threa t to the se·
curity anti defcnse of our nation.
lI igh Tech Jobs
Yes, new tech nology creates new jobs,
Indicato r
but how many and what types of jobs
wi ll be created'? After all, hig h tec h-
nology industries arc so callcd because
of the amoun t of research a nd de\'elop-
ment they expend and because their work
forces arc overwhelmingly composed of
engineers. technicians. and scicntists.
How many workers who ha\'e Irnil their
jobs in manufacturing or construction
:'Ire going to find work in high tech in-
dustries, even if they lire trllined and / o r
go back to school fo r further education'?
More tha n likely, new, permanenl jobs
m high tec hnology ind u~tr i cs will go only
to II limi ted number of hig hl y.educa ted
professionals. Aside from the professional
positions. many of Ihe other jobs In these
Industries do not require additional edu·
cation or training and do not pay well.
The very fact that high tech industries
arc highly mecha nized and automated
means thnt fewer jobs will be available.
How ca n our country become II solely
high tec hnology, service·oriented econ-
omy while stil] a ttaini ng the goa l of full
employment? Obviously, it cannot.
Loss of Jobs
A \ery large perccntage of the more·
than-I I-million unemployed persons in
the U.S. arc out of "ork because of the
prolonged recessio n and beCIIU'\C. for
mllny o t hers, their jobs \\crc exported
to overseas ventures of U.S.·based multi-
nlltional corporations and because of
huge amounts of imports in some in-
dustn("s. Now, the high technology fi rms
thaI arc supposed to solve our unem·
ployment problems are also moving their
operations overseas. The dosing of plants
w"hm the Unitc<l States and t he overseas
production of goods have also affected
service jobs, for a \\eakcned manufac·
tunng sector means fe"er service jobs.
In addition, the large·scale introduction
of new technologies occurs, not only in
manufacturing, but in service industries
as welt. thus furthe r reducing employ-
ment opportu nities.
High Tech industries :lTC frequen tly

hig hly cO~I-intensi\'e bu~inesses that de·
nUlIld enormous amounts of capital. Their
researc h lind development costs lire astro-
nomically high, and the prices of their
already.expensive production equipment
arc skyrocleting. "Ience, the cost of
creating additional employment is corre·
spondingly high. How, then, can our
nation ever achieve full employment if
reference is made constantly to the na·
tion's future as a high tech, service·
providi ng economy? Our economy mus t
be based on a well·bnlnnced mix of in·
d us tries thM will allow our nation to
prosper as a teehnologicallr-advanced,
industrialized country should.
,\ pplicalio n or High T ech
High technology is being introduced
into almost every consumer and business
endeavor tha t one clm imagine-in every
face t of everyday living- telecornnumi-
cations, omce equipment, tra nsportation,
const ruction equipment. mining equi p-
me nt, farm equipment, gamcs and toys,
color TVs, videocassette re(;orden, mis·
sile guidance systems, general aviation
and avionics equipment, machine lools,
banking equipment, etc. H igh technology
itself, ho\\ever, is not 1:lIlgible; it has to
be ap plied to a manufactured product.
Of .... ha t usc i.s high tech itself if we don't
manufacture t he telecommunications,
nanking, farm, construction, mining,
aV13 tion, tr:lnsport:LIion, entertainment,
and other equipment? How call \\e fur-
ther develop and improve upon high
tech if we afe nOl producing the prod.
uc tS to "hich it is applied? We C3nnot
develop lind improve It'Chnologies sepa-
r:ltc and apart from 0 viable industrial
base.
Additionally. "e cannot continue to
de ... .::Iop high technology and then trans·
fer it to other countries that use that
technology to Illanufocture the products
that compete in our marketplace. \Ve arc

, A Special Breed
I There is a breed of men that never
L grows old,
A special kind, cast from a common
mold ;
Alert and ever-ready in time of need,
•r Giving, not asking, is their creed .
Banding together when life gets
L rough,
~ Solving their problems, however so
lough;
Thei r goal's not for glory, wealth o r
fame,
Friends or strangers, welcomed the
same.
A cheery greeling, a hea rly " Hello,"
Sympathy and solace, in lime of
woe;
A helping hand to neighbor or
friend,
Pleasant hours with others to spend.
This special breed of men never
grows old.
They pass on the die and the
common mold ;
To those who have what it lakes to
be
Born disciples of this great fra ternity!
They do nol die, nor pa ss away,
Soaring in space somewhere;
someway,
High from above, their spi rits shall
see,
Newborn disciples in thi s great
fraternityl

Guess Me
Hello, do you know mel
Seven years old I' ll soon be.
My eyes are green, my hair is brown
Two ponytails half to the ground.
I'm not afraid to sleep in the dark
And like to ride my bike in the park.
Going to the library is a lot of fun
r know how to march and dance and
run.
Skating is fun until you fall
Watch out, you'll hi t the walll
Yes, I joined the Brownies
And sold abou t fifty dozen cookies.
I love to stay at Grandma's overnight
Usually I pack the suitcase too tight.
Why does my Pappy say " Don 't ask
why"
How else would I know why God's
in the sky.
I'll say my praye rs and eat all t should
But sometimes it's hard to be good.
Oh, I have a nice Mommy and
Daddy too
And a brother who is two plus two.
Guess me, now o r never

Our long-Awaited Dream
You are our long-awaited present,
Our long-awaited d ream,
You give us so much pleasu re,
You hardly ever scream.
As I look at you,
As I watch you g row,
I think of all the things you'll learn,
So many things you'll know.
You make many fu nny faces,
Your eyes get big and brigh t,
You seem to be so con ten t,
You love to look at the ligh t.
Sometimes you do get fussy,
And you will cry,
Sometimes I just can't figure it OUI,
I just sit and wonder why.
You seem to be growing,
Still as tiny as you seem,
Our wonderful lillIe baby,
Our lo ng-awai ted dream.

Take Time To Lislen
O h, to sit by the side of a rippli ng
stream
Where the water is cool and clear,
O r to lie on the grass and meditate
You 'd be surprised at what you hea r
If you'd take the lime to listen .
There is nothing more peaceful in all
the world,
As Nature communicating:
The frogs, the birds, yes, even the
trees,
A message they're relating ;
way,
Take the time to listen.
Yes, to sit by the side of a rippling
stream,
Where the water is cool and clear;
Try it, my friend, and you will find,
That God is everywhere
If you will just take th e ti me to listen.
