How to Reduce

BY q Local SO1 Member

Once a foolish fellow told a
lady that she was too fat. Natur-
ally, she told him that it was none
of his business how fat she was.
This reminds us of the well inten-
toned, but pathetic efforts of COM
pany officials to combat absen-
teeism at Plant 3 of Frigidaire.
The display board which the COM
pany has put up showing how
many were absent the day before,
and what they could have pro-
duced arouses in most fellows the
same feeling that the fat lady had.
It just makes them mad. If they
have been absent, they say to
themselves, what about the lost
hours when machines set idle on
Sunday. If they have not been
absent they say, well, if that
many fellows are absent every day,
what difference does it make if I
stay home tomorrow"
The trouble with company's at
tempt to reduce absenteeism is
that It does not touch the causes
of absenteeism which is definitely
not a lack of patriotism on the
part of the worker. A great step
In the right direction would be a
reformation in the cafeteria food
at Plant 3. The wonder is that
every man who eats there is not
sick In bed. Of course there is
always a criticism of food any
place, but if the food is up to
standard there is always some
body who will say so. But we
have yet to hear anybody COM
mend the food served at Plant 3
cafeteria, not ever the people
that work in the cafeteria. We
wonder why the company which
has made great advancements in
every phase of production in the
ordnance plant, has not tried to
improve this unhealthy condition.
How about serving some decent
food if you want to keep the boys
on the job. We are not hogs, we
are men.
Still another method by which
absenteeism could be defeated is
by the improvement Of relations
between the company and the
union. An immediate and salts
factory settling of grievances will
make the men want to come to
work.
Finally, if instead Of a criticism
of all absences alike, the company
would offer a suitable reward to
the departments having the best
record for attendance, and per-
haps a prize for outstanding indi-
vidual records, there would be
far more incentive for the worker
to make a good record for attend
ance.
In the Light of the foregoing
suggestions, we believe that alb
senteeisrn Is not an unsolvable
problem, nor Ia it entirely the
fault Of the worker. a. tbs COM
pany would seem to imply. We
will defeat this ally Of Hitler when
we start working on the problem
and quit passing the buck.
Sighted Bond-Bought Same
To save the tempers and thumbs
of American housewives, especially
rushed women war workers, the
government decided to permit
bakers again to slice bread me-
chanically. Nobody was sorry.

under this agreement
AS a result of the agreement and
Redistribution, small tool and cut
ter sharpener trainees received ret
roactive pay on March Is, which in
many instances amounted to ap-
proximately 5000 and in some
cases even more.
Quite a few employees working at
small tool and cutter sharpener
work were reclassified as small
tool and carbide tool grinders
which is classified along with other
tool workmen jobs.
Tool room trainees received ret
roactive back pay, the difference
between the rate they started on
the job and the rate (95c to start)
as provided for in the National
Agreement which was effective
November 2, 1872
The Negotiating Committee in
meeting with the Frigidaire Man
agement on January Is, 1913, jan
uary 20, 1913, and January q,
1913, arrived at an agreement con-
corning credit for trainees who
had experience prior to Novem-
Der 2, 1912, and who were on rates
lower than those agreed to. The
tool workmen trainees were given
credit, and placed upon a rate
November 2 in accordance with
the following schedule: Those who
had less than 3 months, Csc; 3 to
6 months experience, $1-00; 6 to 9
months experience, $1!05; 9 to IL
months experience, $1.10, and more
than IL months, $1.15.
That credit was for trainees on
tool room planners, mills, lathes,
hand screw, machinists, shaper,
horizontal, tool room grinder.
Small tool and cutter sharpener
trainees who had less than six
months experience were placed on
a 99c rate and those with over six
months on $1.04 rate. In all cases
progression after November 2,
1912, was in accordance with the
agreements reached concerning
wage increases. On January ~,
1913, the Union informed Frigid-
aire Management that the trainee
program had been FUZZY ratified
and accepted by the Union.
At the same time that back pay
was paid to the trainees, back pay
was also given to tinslmiths, main
tenance welders, welder repair
men, blacksmiths, brickmasons,
carpenters, plumbers, steam filters,
sprinkler repairmen, air compress
sor engineers, stationery engineers,
power house ~repairmen, licensed
firemen, refrigeration control men,
interior decorators, still operators,
instrument repairmen, acetylene
gas generator operators and paint
ers who could mix and blend
paints, work with varnish, and do
anything in the painting line. This
retroactive pay was effective back
TO January q and amounted to &c
an hour for all the hours they
had worked since that date. About
a month ago, the men in the
power house at Plant 2 received
back pay which ran from about
$50, UP to over $500.
The back pay received by these
employees is Just one small part of
what the Union is doing and

Committee

The Legislative Committee is
meeting regularly and its job is
growing more important every
day. It's record is good, for it has
acted on almost every piece of
legislation brought up in the UE
Worksheet, District Public Affairs
l~eaflet, and Ohio-CIO Council
communication. From the looks of
things, our Legislative Committee,
working in behalf of our mem
bership is not enough, for anti
labor forces are working hard and
fast to put the chains on labor,
especially organized labor. The re-
dictionary bills are not only anti
labor, but anti win the-war, for
they would seriously cripple our
war effort =. . and possibly cause
the losing of this war. Effective
price control, rationing, a sensible
tax plan, and a centralized war
plan have not been passed. There's
a job that you can do to help;
read your Union paper and write
letters and send kilograms on these
issues.
