 Fleet

On this wartime Labor Day, the fighting men of the Navy take occasion to express their grateful appreciation for the magnificent support given them by the workers on the home front. During the past year we have won impressive successes both on the produc- tion line and the firing line. But the toughest part of the job is still ahead-and 1t wil make demands on our ener- gieS, resources and courage beyond anything that has yet been required of us. Let us therefore rededicate ourselves on this Labor Day to work and fight unceasingly until we have gained the inevitable vic- tory.

HI, EVERYBODY

HI, EVERYBODY
We may be small in Local II,
but we are growing. Our unit is
young, but learning fast. Our COM
mittee has worked as one this year
and our progress has been steady.
Our shop committee has success
fully negotiated a real vacation
with pay for this year. Here are
some of the points agreed upon by
the unit and management:
All employees with the company
one year or more as of May l are
eligible with 40 hours pay, or may
take the pay without the vacation
on two weeks notice to the man
agement
Preferential vacations granted on
the basis of seniority but in no
case in a way to disrupt the oper-
alton of the plant. On its part,
management will endeavor to COM
ply with employees vacation re-
quests, while the shop committee
will be responsible for the vacation
schedule
Vacation pay will be given at
the time the employe takes his va
cation, or, if he should terminate
his employment with the company
and is eligible, he shall receive his
vacation pay at the time of his
separation with the company. En-
ployes leaving for the Army and
eligible for vacation shall receive
his vacation pay at the time of his
induction.

Union Labels
By BILL HEALY
Union Labels Director

There is no better time than
right now to begin to demand the
union bug on the things which sou
buy.
If you have not been asking for
the union label why not begin the
very next time you make a pur-
chase to ask for the label and
thus contribute your bit as a mem
Der of organized labor to support
organized labor as you want your
fellow uuionists to give you their
support.
There are still far too many
union people who apparently are
not interested in seeing that the
union label appears on the things
they buy, A good thing to remem-
Der is that the golden rule works
in unionism the same as it does
in life. Buy uniou-made goods
and insure the work and future of
your own and other unions.
Buying union-made goods really
amounts to helping each other, for
if we purchase the products which
other unions make, they viii re-
ciprocate by buying the things
which we make. Why not begin
right now TO ask for and accept
only those products which caEy
the "bug your guarantee Of COED
workmanship-and insure the fu-
ture of union labor.
