Not A Pleasant Prospect

The boss calls you into his office day and says Joe
records show you'll be 65. That means we'll have
to retire you next month"
You tell him you've still got lot of good work in that
body of yours, that you can't afford to retire.
He mentions the fact that you'll draw Social Security
pension and you say that it isn't large enough
He tells you he's sorry that he can't let you continue at
your ob there's company rule that production men retire
automatically at 65.
there you are at the end of 45 years of hard steady
work facing future that's none too pleasant
With prices they are, your Social Security pension
will just about pay your wfes doctor bills and buy you
enough There won't be anything left for rent cloth
ing and incidentas.
Maybe you can in with your daughter and her
husband-or maybe you get job nightwatchman
Then you tell yourself with considerable feeling what
this outfit Pm working for needs decent retirement pro-
gram
lot Of Joes around the country face this problem
year. which explains why large number of unions pay
ing and more attention to retirement programs.
They want to make pensions along with insurance
plans-he subject of collective bargaining Their argument
is that wormen acting collectively have much right to
bargain for their future for the present.
It's sound argument-one we intend to keep making
from time to time until industry provides its employees with
adequate retirement programs.

Furthermore after the contract signed, the COM
pany negotaor carefully brefed the foemen the

In fostering this program of better understanding the
management has also conducted school for fOremen, to

Now We're Finding Out!

We might seriously consider laying off the Taft Hartley
Act for a week if the NLRB would do likewise
But the boys at NLRB have been busy little
beavers designing unionbusng weapons for employers out
of material supplied under TIL.
Early in the game the Boards legal high mogul Robert
n Denham illustrated he's of those fellows who doesn't
believe in permitting the njuncve weapon to lie around
unused.
But of the injunction against unions is becoming
old storyso let's look at of the antunon gad
gets produced by NLRB
There's that little ruling which denies an economic
striker the right to vote in representation election at the
plant against which he's striking.
You and your buddes hit the bricks last and
keep pounding them for time The boss brings in
stkebreakers put them to work Soon he calls for and OBJ

Guys who break strikes don't vote in favor of unions

BON Placed On Moss Picketing

Now if you're looking for working companion for the
ruling cited above you find in the pcketng ban
imposed by NLRB under the guse of protecting the right
to work of those unwilling to honor picket lines
It's really nifty, insofar the boss is concerned 1t

will vote your local union out of existence
Although the NLRB didn't explain it this way here is
what it said in effect:
large number of striking workers. although they DO
not engage violence make threats of violence cannot
legally picket plant because to do might Influence scabS
and strkebreake from taking the strikers jobs
But wait mnute Suppose there is violence?
NLRB has taken of that, too, in new ruling 1t
has held that an international union may be held liable
along with the local union skefor unfair labor prac

And doesn't alter the if the pickets provoked
into violence by management group which wants to obtain

Why Be Union? Read This!

Here is a convincing one-paragraph argument for be-
longing TO union, from the report of the AFL executive
council to the Cincinnati convention:
Union members have had to ask large wage increases
keep pace with the price rise In general they have
gains large enough to offset the rise in their living costs
and groups have advanced their living standards But
non-unon workers have not Jared we'll Many of them
have had very inadequate increases increases at
