In his message to Congress.

Immediately following the

Separate Charter
At Scale

The separate charter move at
Toledo Scale died Wednesday
for lack of support.
Two meetings were held, and
at both meetings Harold Bill
heimer blocked debate.
He gave the separationists'
position, but refused to permit
a discussion.
The combined day and night
shift voting did not give the Bill
heimer forces the majority they
needed, even without permitting
the opposition to speak.
The membership, the rank and
file, carried the day for unity
and solidarity.

More than $4,000 UAW-CIO

better, and health and accident

Everyone of these agreements

signed after the Blades revolt
and the manufacturers assault
had been beaten off.
More such contracts are near
ing completion, and still others
are in negotiations.

It covers the 10000 JAW
CLIO workers in Is plants in
II cities with a package esti-
mated at more than 20 cents.
Among the contents are a pen
sion,. a complete health and &C
cident insurance program, union
security, a new vacation sched-
ule of payments, a boost in the
night shift bonus, and a clause
which provides that as the JAW
clio wins bargaining rights in
any new plants of the expanding
enterprise, the agreement will
automatically cover those plants
too.
New ground was broken, new
precedents set, in several parts
of the agreement.
The pension, which assures a
25-year worker of 500, also
gives him a newly established
transfer right. In the event he
is laid off for six months, the
worker has priority hiring
rights in any other plant of the
Auto-Lite company without Sc
niority), so that he can retain
and further enlarge his pension
credits.
When his original shop rehires
he can transfer back, bringing
his pension credits and resuming
his established seniority.
The standard provision that a
worker incapacitated and unable

to work may retire and take
such pension as his credits pro-
vide has two major additions in
the new agreement:
If the worker has five years
or more of service, he will get
at least 10 years pension. And
whatever his pension credits
may be when he is retired due
to Interpretation, he gets the full
500 pension when he reaches
the retirement age, even though
he may not have worked for
several years.

morning.
Negotiations had been brok-
en- off at one point during the
strike after management had
based an offer on the demand
for what the union committee
called a speed-up.
The settlement included a
500 monthly pension, an insur-
ance and welfare program TAX
ing care of the worker and his
family in the event of accident,
sickness or death, six paid holi-
days, inequity adjustments and
a modified union shop.

Toledo for a good many years.
Enlightened people have
given up these outmoded
things.
But if a lockout was to recurr
in Toledo, Bunting Brass was
the logical place for it to hap
pen.
Management refused to put
safety devices on one of its ma
chimes until a workman lost mis-
thumb last week. Then it COM
piled with the union request.
Management has refused to
negotiate on a pension. One of
the Bunting Brass employees,
who had said he would retire if
he had a pension, died a short
while ago, still working.
Management has let SIS griev-
ances pile up.
Negotiations began at Bunt-
ing Brass on May "a.
Bargaining stalled and stalled
until the contract ran out on
June %. The Bunting Brass
management said the contract
had expired - and refused to
pay for the Fourth of July holi-
day or for the vacations most
other Toledo workers in the
UAW-CIO are enjoying.
Richard Cole who negotiates
for several smallish plants in
Toledo (Acklin, Mathers) is
chief spokesman for Bunting
Brass.
But the workers doubt that
Cole invented the word NO"
The ease with which he learned
to pronounce it in negotiations
with Bunting Brass workers,
however, showed a high degree
of aptitude.
The workers at Bunting Brass
want a standard Toledo contract
pensions, health and accident
insurance, union security, and
the other benefits recently won
by Toledo workers in the UAW-
CIO, as well as the wage in
creases the company can pay.
Management, which has been
conducting a bargaining slow
down, and stalled long enough
to weasel out of making the
Fourth of July a paid holiday
for its workers, has charged
that the Bunting Brass workers
had conducted a showdown at
the plant.
The eagerness with which the
workers, individually, worked
through the recent heat wave
after management calmly pock-
eted their holiday pay and vaca-
ton money may have been
moderate.
Bunting Brass didn't want a
guard on the machine.
Bunting Bras didn't want a
pension.
Now Bunting Brass doesn't
seem to want any brass.
General Motors, however,
might wonder where its share
of the company production went
to, and maybe Richard Cole can
tell them.

and other producers. This will
save $40,00O,0 600 that otherwise
would have been lost.
Both ALL and Clio have urged
the Senator's to write a 1850 ex-
cess profits levy into the cur
rent legislation. Administration
spokesman still think it should
be done later, after the elections
to start with 1850 income.

that corporate profits are rum
ming at an all-time high and are
