SITkA WORKER
QUITS, CHARGES
DISCRIMINATION
Clarence Gdinor Says He
Will File Complaint
with Labor Board

Charges of gross discrimination
against Alaskan workers on the
Sitka naval air station construction
project were made here today by
Clarence Gainor, an employee of
the Seims Drake Puget Sound
Company, who left his job assert
edly to file a complaint with Ma
tional Labor Relations Board repre-
sentatives.
Gainor arrived on the Northland.
His home is at Juneau.
According to Gainor, he and
other workers who were qualified
for advanced pay jobs were en-
ployed first as common laborers by
the contractors, then shifted to
skilled positions and refused the
regular union scale of wages. When
the workers protested, they were
removed from higher paid posi-
lions and put back to work as
common laborers, Gainor reported.
Other men from the common labor
crews were then hired to take their
places as skilled workers at the
regular wage rate for skilled labor,
he claimed.
Pay Protested
Under the wage agreement, Gain
or and two other employees, Ross
Carlyle of Sitka and Leo Jones
of Juneau, were to get IS cents an
hour for common labor and $1.10
as experienced riggers, he said. The
three were first hired as common
laborers and then transferred to
riggers' jobs at no increase in pay,
according to Gainor.
Gainor said he wrote letter OF
protest to R. L. Dyer, employment
officer for the contractors, after
which three-man arbitration
board consisting of Oscar I. Hall,
general superintendent for con-
struction, Assistant Superintendent
Ralph keenan,, and Ross Wells, un-
ion delegate from Seattle, met to
consider the case.
AS result of the arbitration
the contractors agreed to pay one
of the three men, Gainor, $1.10 an
hour but refused the same to the
other two men who had not sent
in complaint but who, Gainol
claims, were entitled to the same
wages for doing the same work.
Denoted" Is Charge
When the three men protested this
action, they were taken off theil
jobs as riggers and put back or
common abor, Gainor charges. But
according to Gainor, they still havt
extra wages for 48 days coming fol
services performed as skilled rig
gers.
Gainor stated that other worker
had been Disseminated against il
the same fashion, citing one case Il
which an air compressor worker
who was entitled under the labo
agreement to skilled wages at SIS
an hour, was given only 85 cent
an hour. When this worker pro
tested at this unfair practice, h
was placed back on common labol
Gainor declared.
a Board Called Unfair
Gainor charges that the contrac
| tors arbitration board has not bee
fair to Alaskans who are employe
on the naval air station projec
| and that, as it consisted of two con
pany men and one Seattle unto
| delegate with whom the contractor
have an agreement, there was littl
chance for Alaskans to secure fa'
) treatment from either the contrae
tors or the arbitration board.
Men are quitting the job ever
day in dissatisfaction, he said.
