demolition bomb in the form of a
group of sisters from the aircraft,
burst on the unprotected soft
heads Of large group of anti
union bosses headed by assistant
works manager, Wilson and assist
ant personnel director, Shaw,
Those were the only two bosses
who were present.
When the sisters charged the
management with discrimination
or working people out of line of
seniority. When the sisters COM
planned and finally filed a bill of
exception they were told by one
of the stooge bosses that the union
could not help them in the AZ
building. AS you see lot of these
would be- bosses took a course in
contract wading and union bust
ing at the aircraft plant in Bridge
port, Conn.
They maintain a school in that
fair eastern city to teach super
vision how to evade and get
around contracts, also how to not
interpret the paragraphs correctly.
Some jerk school don't you think?
They have a screw ball who is
night superintendent, who has as
much use for union as snake
has for a hog. He just doesn't be-
lieve in collective bargaining.
There is another of these birds
of the same tripe just like him,
who is another superintendent the
workers say is a stock chaser from
Brewster, also one Of the Unions
old boys by the name of Joe Var
go, who at one time was steward
in dept. 401. But Joe has surely
left the union trail, he knows the
contract has paragraph that says
supervision does not work on pro-
duction any time during the "a
hours of each day.
We do not say he cannot show
any one how to do the work, but
why should he have to do it when
each boss has from two to six
leaders in each department. Joe
you should start at once and set
yourself right or we will believe
that you have less unionism in
your heart than the stooge bosses
believe. You haven't an alibi so
wake up. In the rest of the entire
plant and that takes in consider
able and members we do not have
one-fourth as many bosses as they
have in the 40 building and do not
have half of the grievances. In
some depts. of so to rs people
Why no one knows unless it be to
| they have three or four bosses
stir up trouble. One stated he
would not stand for any pro-rated
girls from other depts. working in
his department. We wonder who he
thinks he is. May be has never
felt the heavy hand of the union.
Mr., We all work under one con-
tract and believe us that's Our
bible.
One of the bosses keeps one Of
his pets on the job so he will have
tennis partner. This fellow is
about 20 years old, and how he
does flatter the guy he works for.
The one alibi they use is that they
are not allowed to work the sisters
who have plenty of seniority on
Sunday, as the state laws forbid
it; but they don't tell their pets
that.
They also work material hand
lers out Of their classification.
They do everything to keep this
division in an up-roar, then fight
like nobody's business to keep
from paying any one when they
get caught.
Here is another example, one of
the floor supervisors laid off the
other day and when she came in
the next morning called her whole
department together and gave
them a lecture on absenteeism.
That took a lot of nerve on her
part as she did not have any alibi
for laying off the day before.
Those would d-be-bosses even
push the girls around. This big
shots name is Shaw and he works
in the Plant Engineering Dept.
Listen you birds if you don't want
your name in the paper you had
better get yourself in line. 1t is
pleasure to write about you and
this will not get a promotion, we
will promise that. Maybe the peo-
pie who we have to bargain with
in the Ad. Bldg. don't like this
kind of publicity so get this mess
cleaned up quick or there will be
plenty more as we think this is
one of the smelliest bombs that
ever exploaded in the WHY'S Over
land.
The management is always tell
ing us they have plenty of tools
and materials for everyone to
work steady, then why do they
pull off the production workers
and tell them to pick rivets and
other stock off the floor or may
be that is another one of their
rules or couldn't it be they were
short of rivets. They have a Ice
of ways they try to discredit the
union in the workers eyes such as
charging a stewards time for z,
g. or Y hours In union time whath-
