Company Appeals To NWLB on Crane Operator Decision

The Electric Boat Company has filed an appeal to the National War Labor Board from the Ship building Commission of the War Labor Board on the ruling made by the Shipbuilding Commission in the dispute case with the Union con- corning crane operators.
 The Union requested the Com mission to establish higher rates for crane operators over the ob- jections of the Company. The Ship building Commission gave the Un- ion a favorable decision and di- rected that the Company establish a new premium rate of $1.27 in ad- dition to the three rates in effect The Commission also directed that the Union and the Company re- classify each crane operator under the new rate schedule.
 Because of this appeal, all crane operators remain frozen in their present rates and classifications.
 The Union will file an answer to the Company's appeal and will strongly urge that the National War Labor Board uphold the Shipbuild- ing Commission; and further, that the reclassification of crane opera tors be retroactive to June B, 1943 as was done in the case of other rates.
 
 Attorney Charles Suisman is now preparing the necessary documents in support of the Union position.

RetrOactivity
 FOrTrialCreW Brews Dispute

Although the Union and the Com pany have worked out mutually satisfactory reclaSsification of trial crew members through merger of the trial and test crew, and have agreed upon the individual in- creases which should go into effect, the matter is not yet settled.
 In the first place, the new in- creased rates have not been placed into effect because approval is awaited from the Shipbulding Com mission of the War Labor Board.
 The Company has also taken the position that when the approval is received it should be made eff fective as of May 9, 1914, when the merger of the trial and test crew was accomplished The Union states that the wage agreements in- volved should be made effective to July B, 1943.
 The VILE will decide this point based upon written arguments by the Company and the Union.

Lack of Harmony Noticeable Among Union Officials

It was very noticeable at the June regular monthly meeting Of the General Committee that. inc cluded in the opposition to the Un- ion Business Agent Harold w. Cruise, was the entire Executive Committee. The Union Executive Committee and the Union Business Agent must constantly work with each other and the existence of friction is most unfortunate.
 Prospects of restoration of har- mony and cooperation are good be- cause the opposition of the Execu- tive Committee was not based up- on malice or personal dislike. The Executive Committee apparently believes that the Union business agent should constantly circulate throughout the plant. rather than remain in the Union Office. The Union Executive Committee also believes that the Business Agent should devote a lot of time to a0- quisition of new union members bw direction and supervision of sys- tematic solicitation through union departmental representatives
 There Is no reason why the Union Executive Committee and the Busi- ness Agent cannot adopt mutual ly satisfactory beneficial program and schedule of business agents duties and functions.

 Welding in
 Navy Yards

The Union Committee which visited Navy yards recently learned that Navy specifications on sub- marine construction are interpreted differently at the Portsmouth Navy yard than at the Electric Boat Company. AS a result of these different interpretations, the amount of chromang welding in Portsmouth. Navy yard is exceed ingly slight and amounts to practic- ally nothing at all. Other facts discovered by the Committee clear ly indicate that working conditions for local welders involve consid- erably more herdships than do working conditions for welding in other shipyards; and that some thing should be done about the situation.

JJniOnVerifies Overtime Pay For May. 6-7

The Union has verified the mat ter of Sa urday and sunday pay for May and May ' by direct contact with the Navy. This action was taken when the Company ad- vised the Union that 1t had not yet received a letter from the Navy authorizing payment of this over time. The Union was informed by Captain Keller, Chief of the Labor Division of the Shore Establish ments, that absolutely no hitch whatsoever has developed and that the overtime would definitely be paid.
 Captain Keller has informed At torney Charles Suisman that the fomal ruling on the subject has to be signed by the Secretary of Navy, Secretary of War and the Chairman of the Maritime Com mission, but that obtaining of these signatures is a routine matter once the question has been decided by the Shipbuilding Stabilization Con- mittee.
 At this time the Secretary of Navy has signed the ruling. After the other signatures are affixed . formal ruling will be issued and the Company will be formally nOti- fled that it will be reimbursed for the money it pays out.
 The Union has estimated that about $5O,OOO in overtime has been secured by it for local workers.
