January Meeting Postponed Again

The January General Committee meeting of the Groton Shipbuild- CTS Union will be postponed again as result of delay in election of 1914 Officers.
 The monthly meetings for union departmental representa- tives are usually held on the sec ond Monday of every month. It was at first believed election re- suits would be available by the third Monday in January so the meeting was to be adjourned for one week until January IT, 1914.
 Now the run off election can't be held until January 18th. 1914. It is probable that unless impor- tant business is pending that the January meeting will now be merged into and combined with the February meeting which will take place on February 14th. It is also possible that Harold Cruise will call the January meeting for January 24th, 1944, the fourth Monday in the month and at that meeting it can be voted to hold all future meetings on the fourth Monday of every month and to amend the bylaws accordingly. 4 All new union representatives who take office in January and any who hold over by reelection should watch carefully for fur ther announcement concerning the meeting,

Union to Erect
 Bulletin Boards

Tn the previous collective bar gaining between the union and the management the union won the right to erect union bulletin boards inside the plant at appropriate .o- cations for the posting of union notices and announcements. The bulletin boards will be paid for by the union. Announcements or mo- tices are subject to advance filing with the company to prevent abuse and the union will strictly regulate on the question of who can put up union notices.
 If properly used the bulletin boards will prove of valuable as- sistance to union administration and to members because they can get all essential union notices and announcements quickly, conven- iently and economically.

Preparing Written Grievance Forms

Under the new agreement be- tween the Company and the Union all grievances must be handled in writing. This is to benefit both the Union and the Company be- cause there will always be rec ord of what happens in every grievance. The system has many advantages and the Union is con- fident that with this procedure and full time business agent the ad- ministration of grievances will greatly improve and become very efficient and prompt.
 The Union attorney and the Company counsel are preparing a suitable form to be printed Tn quadruplicate in pads. In a short time all Union representatives Tn each department will be supplied with pads of forms and will fill out the form as soon as a grlev- ance is reported.
 The form will contain all neces- sary information and if further &C., tion becomes necessary complete record and history of the case will be in existence for quick and in- telligent handling.

Union Election Monday
Letter to Grievance Com.

The following letter was mailed to The Sub and so we print it as is: Gentlemen:
 I, Thomas c. Martin, Represen- tative of 241 Department, Victory Yard, Second Shift Carpenters, re- spectfully request you to explain why the carpenters of the 241 De- partment, Victory Yard, working on the 3:45 to 12:3O shift, are not allowed to make the rating of carpenters, 1st class, when 1t is understood that a contract exists which provides for carpenters, 1st class, on said second shift.
 The men in this department were hired as carpenters, End class, but have been placed as corkers. Ac- cording to the superintendent of 241 Department, these men are now doing work which Is not worth more than one dollar and nineteen cents ($1.10 per hour. This issue
The sub., 1944-01-06

This QraStlC anu GXp6ILSlV6 Stcp came immediately after the dis- covery that the ballots printed for use last Monday contained several errors. Most of the mistakes came in placing candidates for the Ex- ecutive Committee on the wrong shift groupings. These errors re- suited from failure of the nominate ing petitions to be properly and completely filled out despite warn.- ings from the Election Committeo. The committee had to refer to out- side records for information and the only available records were out of date and not entirely accu- rate. st.-,..a ., i
 The new ballots have been print ed on yellow paper instead of white paper and at the ballot box es those in charge will not permit any of the old white ballots to be used. They should all be de. stroyed. ..s.
 All Union members should bring the revised yellow ballots all filled out to work with them next Mon+ day, January 10th, 1914. Outside the usual entrance gates the SMEU BALLOT BOXES will be located in the custody of members of the Election Committee.
 The present election is the most complicated in Union history and will cost the Union well over $1 ,OOO in handling expense alone.
The sub., 1944-01-06

Then it became apparent that this would only complicate matters and might delay completion of the plan. To avoid further delay or complicate matters and might de- lay completion of the plan. To avoid further delay or complica- tions the Independent Union with drew it's objections to inclusion of the Patternmakers and Craftsmen into the plan upon condition that both the Unions representing these two minority groups refrain from taking any active part in the han ding of the subject.
 Both the Craftsmen and Pattern makers Unions stipulated to this effect in writing and thereupon this issue was settled to the sat isfaction of all ana jurisdictional difficulty was eliminated.
 Preparation of the plan and han ding all it's details have taken up almost the full time of the gen. eral manager of the Electric Boat Company ard the Union Incentive Committee for close to full month. There has been consider able research ana almost daily conferences with the Incentive Committee and Union Counsel Charles Suisman.

Election Com. ReOrganiZed"

The Election Committee of ten members whose duty it is to ham, dle the balloting on the elections, contained five candidates for of- flee, viz: John M. O'Connor, can- didate fpr president; John L. Ol- dershaw, nominated for vice preSi- dent; Harold c. Taylor, running for reelection as treasurer; c. Roland Bishop, candidate for clerk, and William Ebbinghaus, running for the Executive Committee.
 To avoid situation where these men would be holding ballot boxes at the gates .on election days and counting them when the voting had finished, the group resigned last week.
 President Harold Cruise will ap- point five new members to carry on. There will remain on the com mittee the following veterans: c. F. Chapman, George Daniels, Peter O'Malley, Joseph SauerSopf, and Frank Southard.
The sub., 1944-01-06

Arrangements are made SO that Cruise will have permanent badge button which will entitle him to unrestricted access to any part of the Nelseco Plant at any time, to carry out his duties.
 Most of the duties will be the handling and adjusting of griev- ances and raises. It will be im- possible for Cruise to take care of all the matters that come up him. self. Anyone who has grievance Aor believes that he is entitled to a raise should take the matter up himself with the immediate super . visor or foreman.
 If no satisfaction is received and Union help is needed the worker must first take the case to the Union representative in his depart ment who will take it up with the foreman or other immediate su- pervisor. If that does not work then the business agent comes into the picture and either the Union representative or worker involved can see Cruise and get his services and action.
 Cruise will have to refuse to handle any grievance until the Union department representative has handled it first and failed to get satisfactory results. This sys- tenn and rule will be strictly fol- lowed at all times because other wise one man could not possibly begin to take care of everything that comes up.

Trial Crew Seeks Compensation

Members of the trial crew are seeking adjusted increased conn., pensation on trials as 8 result of extension of trials further beyond Southwest Ledge Light.
 Joe LaCross, Union representa- tive of the trial crew, has sub. mitted a written grievance pre- pared by Union Counsel Charles Suisman on the subject which is being handled under the contract grievance procedure.
 The Union will seek the estab- Ilishment of retroactive date o9 any settlement of the grievance.

The plan was hIeo last week with the National War Labor Board, is subject to its approval and the Board has been requested jointly by the Union and the Company to make it's approval re- troactive to January 1st, 1944.
 The plan Is under the joint sponsorship of the Management and the Shipbuilders and Marine Engineers Union. It makes it pos- sible for all workers to increase their earnings by as much as 1O% a month.
 A complete and accurate for- mula has been prepared to meas ure increased production from in- creased effort. The Union believes that if all workers will cooperate and work harder the plan will produce.
 The plan penalizes absenteeism regardless of cause TOT the reason that when a worker is absent his production stops

Voting Eligibility Rules Settled by Election Com.

Union deductions against a workers have resulted in
 problem of voting eligibility which has been referred to the Election Committee by Union Treasurer Harold Taylor He pointed that there instances where workers had enrolled in the Union time and had not signed but at the time had not continued paying dues and kept up their membership in good standing.

Incentive System Handled Entirely by s. M. B. U.

The Shipbuiders & Marine Engineers Union handled exclusively labor the preparation and administration ot the new plant-wde overall incentive system. Originally the Independent Union insisted that the incentive plan cover only those employees represented by the Unon This would have excluded the Craftsmen and the Paternmakers.

To Make Choice for Officers
 And Executive Com. for 1914

At a special meeting of the Union Election Committee held last voted to rescnd and cancel the eec tion originally scheduled to take place last Monday This action came after ballots and notices had already been mailed out to all Union members eligible to vote thereby necesstatng the reprinng and mailing out of complete ly new set of ballots and notices.

However, from December on their dues would automatically be taken care of and the question was whether or not this automatically restored them to membership in good standing and voting privil- eges.
 The Election Committee reviewed the bylaws in detail and acting on the advice of Union counsel ruled that the new Union dues deduction system did not automa- tically restore all enrolled mem bers into good standing and voting rights. The committee did rule that beginning July 1st, 1943, any member whose paid up dues had expired on that date or subsequent to it, could have reasonably as- sumed it was unnecessary to pay Up any more dues in advance be- cause of the proposed contract changes. Therefore all those whose dues were paid up to at least July 1st. 1943, will be allowed to vote and receive ballots.
 All others whose dues have been paid each month by payroll de- ductions will be considered in good standing and receive ballots. If you have not received a ballot for the election on Monday by today and believe you are a member in good standing consult Harold Cruise, business agent, at the Un- ion office, or your department rep resentative A mistake may have occurred and you will be accord ed kyour full Union rights.
