sideration a similar case, this time in
stead, as before, fighting the people
directly fought them this time indi-
rectly when case was to be taken
before the labor board, he told the
people in the shop that they did not
have a chance to win their case.
That One Persona Left Winger,
You Bet.
So when one of the workers thought
differently from his agent, trying to
get someone in the shop for the pur-
pose Of bringing the case for consid-
Grafton before the board, could not
get anybody, because from what the
agent told them they feared to do any
thing, and the case was fought by one
person in the shop, yet resulted in
victory for the workers because the
labor board decided in its favor.
Again, this same agent rendered a
decision which caused section of
about twenty people to lose their jobs
in Alfred Decker & Cohen. He was
not taken to account for that, except
that the people in that shop would no
longer tolerate him there, and was
thus substituted by someone else.
A Fine Man to Represent Workers.
The reason I relate the deeds of one
agent only is because l do not know
the others. do not even know one
tenth of what this agent has done
which might be Of a similar nature
as far as the worker is affected by it.
The things related about him, are
things that happened in two shops,
and he takes care of twenty shops or
so. His benevolent deeds, therefore,
if summarized would show that he has
just as much right to represent labor
as degenerate has right to teach
morality.
A Few Questions.
How can such a business agent be
presented in true light before the
workers? Can he be exposed under
these circumstances? Are the people
free to testify against him and not
suffer in many ways? Is not the
agent in position to punish everyone
that attempts to check him in any
way? Is it-not fact that he can Sc
cure good job for lackeys and
friends?
Is it not fact that the business
agent can say directly and indirectly
who shall and who shall not get an
employment insurance? Is it not a
fact that in this industry everyone is
out of work long enough to be EMIT
led to his insurance? Yet, how many
get their full share?
If the unemployment insurance was
for the purpose Of helping the worker,
why then, is this in the hands of every
business agent to recommend insur-
ance for whoever they may see fit?
Why, if this insurance is meant in
good faith, leave this in the hand
of politics?
Why not standardize the contribu-
ton and distribution of insurance, like
the payment of dues and assessments
and thereby avoid condition where
one is deprived of his insurance be-
cause his agent has a grudge against
him?
Come On Levin-Speak Upl
Why does the manager of the Joint
board ignore the unfair distribution of
the insurance? Why, when his atten-
ton is called to the fact that a certain
business agent, together with Stewart
Of the unemployment insurance office,
pays out insurance to people who have
been suspended and are therefore not
entitled to insurance according to
rules? Why not bring a stop to all
this?
