No One Can
Take Your Vote
Away From You
Except You!
On Tu esday, November 6,
1984, American voters will go
to designated election polling
pl aces all across the land to
participate in the general el ec-
tions. These voters will elect
the next president and vice
president of the Uni ted States,
and in some areas those per-
sons seeking congressional sea ts
also will be elected,
The candidates who emerge
victorious will have the exec-
utive and legisla ti ve powers to
set the nati on's social, eco-
nomic and internationa l polio
cies for the next four or more
yea rs.
However, there is a require-
ment that must be complied
with by the ci tizens who choose
to exercise their constituti onal
right to cas t a ballot for the
political ca ndida tes of their
choice. All voters mu st be reg-
istered un der th e state election
laws goverrung elecuons in their
respective states.
T he rules and procedures fo r
registering to vote are not com -
plicated and require only a small
amount of time and e£fort for
an individual to meet th e nec-
essary voter-registration re-
quirem ents. The system of gov-
ernm ent under whi ch we freel y
choose to be gove rned is ca ll ed
a dem ocra cy. Part of that sys-
tem is holding free elections.
When ci tizens fail to exe rcise
their right and responsIbili ty
to vore, it makes a mockery of
democracy. Also, when citi -
zens bil to register and vote,
it can lead to minority rule.
This m eans that the wishes and
desires of the people are in
danger of not being ca rried ou t.
Governm ent by the people
can only be accom plished wi th
m ajority rul e. Remember, it is
the voters who determi ne if the
elected officeholders will be
those who will chart a course
of economic and social grow th
and progress for all the ci tizens
and the nation, or whether the
elected lead ers will be those
who will promote only the wel-
fare of a fe w speCial-interest
groups.
During the 1980 presidential
e lections, alm ost 75 milli on el-
igible American citizens did not
vote. This was a national shame
on democ racy and should not
be allowed to happen again in
1984. T he stakes are tOO high-
espeCially fo r working people,
who constitute the majority of
the country's population.
The lBEW is joining with the
AFL-CIO and its affi lia tes in
launching an intensive effort
•
to persuade every union mem-
ber who has not done so to
register to vote, thus becoming ,
eligibl e to cast a ballot for the
candida te of his or her choice
on November 6. See pages 2 1
and 22 in this issue of the
!QuIn a1 fo r voter-registrati on
inform ation by state.
Ou r obj ective is this: every
union member registered; ev-
ery umon m ember a voterj
every uni on m ember a partic-
ipant in dem ocra cy.
No one can te ll you how to
vote, and we have no intention
of doing so. However, we will
keep lBEW m embers informed
on each candi date'S record and
stand on the issues; and we
make no bones about it- la-
bor's pOS ition ha s been and will
•
be to continue to "s upport our
fri ends and defea t our ene-
mies."
While this concentra ted I
voter· registration drive is based
stri ctl y on a non· pa rtisan basis,
we na turall y en courage our
m embers, thei r families and
.
friends to vote for labor-en-
dorsed candidates. We will con- "1
tinue to keep mEW members
up-to-da te on the pros and cons
of the issues, especially as they
affec t all workers and unions.
-
,
We want our members to be
knowledgeable and to be well - ••
inform ed voters. I sincerely be-
lI eve that full paruclpa tion of
all citi zens is essential to the
strength of a dem ocracy such
j
as ours. Voting is parti cipation !
No one can take your vote
away from you-except you!

Addressing the delegates Is First District VICe
President Ken G. Rose, who chaired aU the
1964 First District Progress Meetings.
Commenting on the raiding lacucs uf
some Ul1Ions, Vice Prcslde n t Rose said
that such activities were the worst kmd
of trade UllIOI1lSm; rather than "orgal1lz-
HIS the orgalllzed, th ose un ions should
be paying attention to the mi llIOns of
unorganized people in Canada."
In rcviewmg the unem ployment fig·
ures for Canada, VICC Prf'"iticilt Rose
expressed grave concern that " m SpltC of
the lower figures bem g reponed thiS year
than last, those figures did not express
tbe reality of those working men and
women III Canada who arc u nable to find
work and unable to properly feed, clothe
and shelter thei r families."
" Even more discouragin& " he satd,
"we re the unemployment figurcs for the
construction IIldustry in Canada, where
32 percen t of the work fo rce were un-
employed."
Continulllg. Vice Presiut:1L1 Rose Slated,
"Those figures are a tragedy upon the
people in Canada; we do not need band-
aId solutions to our economic probl ems;"
and he ealk-d upon the govcrnment to
"develope and fo llow through with an
economic st rategy to PUt Canada back
on its fee t. "
Vice Prl'''ldent Rose reported that 334
members graduated from Shop Stewards
Training Courses and 50 from Leadership
Train ing Cou rses in the past year and
urged the delegates to participate to an
evell grea ter degree ill IBEW Training
Courses and the educational courses of·
fered by the Canadian Federation of La·
bour.
Vice PreSident Rose then addressed the
.>
,
proposal by the government to deregulate

Th e Vice PreSIde n t urged the delegates ...
to sign the pctJtion being CITcula ted duro
ing the mcctin&~ again.~t deregulation of

throughout thelf local umons sunilar
petitions prOVided to them, and return
them to the First D Istrict office.

u uons before the C RTC when presentlllg

VICC PreSIdent Rose reported on the ..
adverse and regressivc labour legtslatlon
proposed or enacted in several 01 the
provlOees of Canada.
VII":": Ple:'ldcul Rose commended the ~
delegates and leaders across Canad:l for
their recent contract settlements saying
that III spite of the hard economIc times --
and :adverse political clima te, he was not
aware of one mEW local union in Canada
which had given a wage concession.
Vice PreSIdent Rose revtewed the ac-
tivittes of the Second Convention of the
CFL with the delegates. He stated, " The
action ta ken by that Convention III sup-
porting the establ ishment of:l Real Estate

taken by a central [abom body III Can ·

International T reasurer Thomas Van
Arsdale was IOtroduced by Vice PreSident
Rose to the delegates at the Cent ral ~
Meeting in Toronto.
[JI h is renlilrks the Intern.1tlOnal T reas
u rer suggested "that Progress Meeti ngs
should be a time when local union offi·
cers reflect on the very Important work
they do, not on ly fo r their membershIp,

Further, he suggestcd " that LIl today's

Vice President Andrew M. RIPI' opened
the meeting at 9:30 a m., July 19, and
after the formal prellmmanes and mtro-
ductlons Informed Ihe deleg:ues that the
theme for the Progress Meeting was
" Railroad Workers Have It Too Good!"
refern ng to PreSident Reagan's admin-
Istration's position that your wages arc
I ~ too high; your free lime Without pay,
such as vacations, holidays, bereavemcnt
leave, JUry duty, unemployment benefits,
are too excesSive; health and welfare
benefits such as medica l and dcntal in-
surance and sic kness benefits arc infla-
tionary; and Railroad Reurement and
$oclal Secunly benefits arc a burden to
the taxpayers.
HIS pomt was emphaSized by askmg
., the delegates to look at the record of the
Reagan admllllstratlon and their plans to
destroy the progress lUade by labor, and
in particular organized labor, by takmg

Retirement; as we know, It was successful
in bringing abou t reduction m annU ItieS,

legIslation to dcstroy the Railroad Un -
employment Insurance Act, which has
served Ihe railroad Industry for the past
50 years at no cost to the governmcnt.
Thi S administ ration has made a VICIOUS
attack aga inst the Railway Labor Act
provisions which proVide for the adJU-

1- Health Care Cost-Containment Coalitions

The conStant and unrelenting rise
in the cost of health carc in the
II United States has resulted in a period
... of review and reassessment of pnvate
and public policies relating to the
cost, planning, and delivery of health
care needs.
For ISEW members, health care
expenditures have taken an increas-
ingly-larger sha re of the tOlal dollars
• negotiated at the bargaining table .
Active and retired workers have
watched their hard-won health care
benefits being eroded by spiraling
inflation. Many have been con-
fronted by employer demands of
"take-aways," larger deductlbles, and
higher co-payments by their employ-
ees.
While effons have been made to
restrain rising costs, the problem per-
sists. This should be of great concern
to all health care consumers, includ-
ing IBEW members. It is obvious that
the providers of health care, left to
their own efforts and resources, have
shown that they are either unable or
unwilling to get a rein on spirali ng
cern and interest of various com · bershlp and program compoSItion.

• Evaluating eXIMlIlg health care la·

availability uf needed services lor
everyone, IIlciudlllg the dlsadvan·
taged, the elderly, and the unem-
plo}'ed. Excess facility capacity
should be assessed and appropriate
aCllon taken.
• Developing utilization review pro-
cedures, with emphaSIS on hospI-
tal tn-patient days of care, and a
follow-up companson With othe r
hospllais and OIhe r comm unities;
also, the deve lopment of utlh za-

to red uce high ut ilization wh er·

Followlllg thiS type of lIl-dcpth
analYSIS of the local health care sys-

OH-MY ACHING BACK!
Last year nearly one-third of all
injuries reponed to OliT International
,- were injuries to the back) of disabling
II1luncs requinng lost time, 40 per-
cen t were to the back :md nearly all
o-J, from Improper lifting!
We have all read of the proper way
to lift; and, in most cases, when
~ lifting heavy objects, we try to ob-
serve them. Most injunes of this type
involved Improper Ilfung of objects
under 25 pounds-weights so light
... we forget the rules.
Some se rious back IIlluncs have
occurred whcn someone bent at the
.. hips to pick up a pencil or a piece of
paper from the noar!
lI
The back provides the s uppOrt to
keep the body crect, yet flexible. The
interlocking nature of the bones of
the spinal column, along with its
nerves, muscles and IIgam cm s, have
I the potential for many types of In-
IUry .
Most of us seldom thmk of the
amount of pressure or s tram placed
upon the back by some si mple move-
ments. This s train is enormous even
I when we arc not lifung.
To demonstrate to yourself some
I
of the Importance o f good ilftmg
habits, try the following three ex·
penm en ts.
I. Stand at arm 's length from a
s mall table, such as a TV tray,
grasp the table With one hand
and try to lift It ; then move up
to the tab le as closely as you
ca n, and, with the same hand
try again to lilt It . This dem -
r onstr<Hes the ImpOrtance of
t s tanding close to the load you
are lifting. PlaCing your feet
about one foot apart, With one
~
foot alongSide the load and the
other close to the s ide nearest
you keeps It close and easier to
lift.
2. Pick up a heavy book in one
I g. Where is the load to be car-
hand With your fingers on lOp
l and hold it straight out at arm 's
length for a minute . Then tWi St
you r arm, so that your thumb
is on top, and hold it fo r another
minute . This experiment not
for you and your family
only demonstrates the effect of
leve rage working against your
body and Increasing the eHec-
tlve weight of an oblect, but it
also shows the IIlcreascd strain
twisting can place on your mus-
cles. Never twist your back
while lifting o r carrying an ob-
lect! Turn your feet, not your
back .
3. Stand With your feet together,
bend your knees, louchlllg your
toes with your fingers . Then,
s tanding up, keep your legs
s traight and touch your toes.
This shou ld s how the value of
using your legs to do the lifting.
Tests have mdlcated that merely
s ualghtenmg up from a bent-over
position puts a s train of more than
a quarter of a ton on the back o f an
average adult. Lilting a moderate load
with thi S mcorrect method can apply
tens ions of a half t on or more on the
back of an average adult!
Ge nerally s peaking. when bendmg
over to lift, ralher than lifting with
your legs, your lower back is actually
lifting 10 pounds for every pound
lifted [object plus weight of upper
body). This shou ld cause people to
realize the Importance of proper !th·
mg. When lifting ally oblCCt , we
shou ld prepare to lift by domg th e
followll1g:
I. Before domg anythlllg Slap and
1Illnk .
2. Size up th e load :
a. How h eavy IS 11 ?
b. Any nail s or splinters?
c. Any sharp edges or slippery
su rfaces to avoid or wipe
clean?
d. Where to grasp it?
e. Where IS th e poim of bal·
ance?
f. What is the lifter to dn with
the load!
ried ? Is the route dead
h. Where IS the load to be put
down! Has that area been
prepared ?
Then, as we are ready for the lift
Itself:
I. Face th e oblect.
2. Stand as close t o th e object as
possible.
3. Feet should be apart with OIlC
foot forward for s uppOrt and
balance .
4 . Body weight should be over the
feet.
5. Bend your knees, nOI your back.
6. Keep back straight Inot neces-
sanly vertical).
7. Keep elbows and arms tucked
into your sides.
8. Use full palm gnp [thiS gives
marc s trength than JUSt fingers) ,
9. Tense muscles and lift by
s tralght en mg out the knees and
using the strong leg muscles,
keeping the object close to your
body at all lim es.
Remember:
I. Don' t ,erk the load. Llh II
smoothly
2. Don' t lift and twist at the sa me
tim e. Lift obJect to carryll1g po-
sition, then turn your body by
changmg foot position first
CarrYing:
I , Keep It close.
2. Keep elbows and arms tucked
mto your Side.
3. Don' t change gnp III mid -carry.
Many times the load to be moved
IS more than one person can safely
handle . Never be ashamed to seek
he lp if the object IS too heavy or too
awkward for one persall. In these
cases conSider those lIlvolvcd to be
a team and obse rve the followll1g
team lifting-and-carrying rules:
I. Know when you need help and
get It!
2. Ideally both !thers shou ld be
the same Size and weight to
share the load equally.
3. Someone should be the "quart-
erback" and " call the Signals."
4. The route to be taken should
be agreed upon before carrylllg.
5. The place to pu t the load dm ... n
should be agreed upon before
carrying,

A man of st rengt h, tall and lea n ,
Eyes o f blue , both clear and keen,
A sun tan ned face so boyish and

You wouldn 't know he was o'e r 41 .
He walks With a bounce and a
spring in his step,
He has a gentle , slow sm ile and
hair neatly kept.
The color is brown with fleck s of
grey ,
The right amount in a dignified
way.
He has lot s of staying power
Working hard b y the ho ur.
His kisses are loving and warm ,
He has a special kind o f charm.
He's a father, he 's a hu sba nd ,
A Democrat , a union man .
I'm a lucky woman , he 's my man ,
And I think that is sim pl y grand.

" Thi s," I sa id , "can ' t happen In a

Now I'm not sure , a~ )'OU will laler

With Ronald Reagan making his

Each morni ng with million s

They Cry out for help, but
WaShington won ' t hear.
And half a million small bU511lesses
Close their doors each year.
I uy out to yo u, my Brothers and

Come November won 't you please
