National
Supply Unit NeVs
BY Harmon Lee

The 1hlhE VOTE was
passed by a large majority of
the Unit at the last Sunday
meeting. This is the kind of sup
port the committee needs. when
they start negotiating the con-
tract.
To protect you from illness
and TO protect your family, your
committee will negotiate for
health and security provisions
that will insure you against the
cost and income loss through i'll
ness or accident. The National
Labor Relations Act says en-
ployers must negotiate on this
subject. Wages should cover the
cost of illness, but they don't.
as many of our own members
know, so this insurance must be
paid for by the company.
In addition to the health pro-
gram, they will also negotiate
pension plan. After lifetime in
the shop, you have earned a
pension just as well as the presi-
dent of the National Supply.
When you become too old to
work and still too young to die,
$4,000 per month"; plus your
Social Security will be none to
much for the service you have
given the company. Not only
will it benefit the older en-
ployee by being able to live in
dignified and modest comfort, it
will give additional opportuni-
ties for the younger people. So
if you want security and free
dom from the fear of poverty in
old age, support your union in
the best way you know how.

thing coming.
