AS1 week we got the first
- inkling Of the company'S
bonus plan. From what we got
of it, the rest can't be much
good. Ringman told the special
committee he wasn't giving
them stick of candy, and that
we would have to work for
every thing we got. We would
like to know just when the COM
pany ever gave us any thing
without working for it. So far
as the stick of candy is con-
cerned, we know that any thing
the company wants to hand US,
can't be very sweet. When the
question was raised about the
time on the job, Louie answered
that will have to be ironed out.
How right you are Louie. But
if it takes as long for that as
other things we'll all have chin
whiskers that would reach tc
our knees.
We have a couple of heels
again this week. First is Grey
Liggett, foreman in Dept. 53u
for not wanting to allow the
steward time to take care of. q
grievance. The other is Eddy
Merical, Dept. So, nights, for
cussing the crane man for pass
ing over him with a load of tool
joints. Ask yourself Eddy, who's
at fault if you're so far in the
fog that you can't hear a bell
ring. We know that you don't
like to be on the other end of q
cussing, and have sent others
away talking to themselves for
just that. Maybe the TIL Labor
Law will permit such thing.

to sell dew worms to pay for
his vacation.
When did a certain assembler
in Dept. 81 get promoted to an
