Some weeks ago, | reported that
the Company had spent approx
mately $500 in overtime for
committeeman plus the time lost
by Mr.. Beatty and Mr.. Beisweng-
er to settle a grievance on the
air ventilation system, which
involves eight people to the tune
of about $1,000, for one hour
lost time.
On April 18th another meeting
was called regarding this par
ticular grievance and one involv-
ing an employee who had lost
his job because he wasn't report
ed out before his seventh day
had elapsed. This meeting lasted
2 hours and As minutes. Present
were the entire committee plus
Howard Seren our Local IL pres
ident, Mr.. Beatty, Mr.. Beisweng-
er and this time, Mr.. S i b | e y,
whose salary exceeds, | am sure,
more than anyone of the others.
Bear in mind some of the night
committeeman got paid overtime
for coming in early and the day
committeeman got paid overtime
for staying after $3.50 pm.
The first time they met, Mr..
Beatty knew only about one half
of the grievance and he said, /,
4 Leonard Borglin, had something
personal against Mr.. Stranahan
How Mr.. Beatty says it ism: the
SIC so much, as he didn't like
the people leaving their place OF
work but b elieve you me, ne
would not want to sit in cold
draft especially like the one that
was prevalent on the day in ques-
ton. On this p rti i c u | a r day
Holm Holly, assistant foreman
said to the girls, IF they wanted
to get paid for downtime, they
would have to sign up" This
they did, but Mr.. Beatty denied
this. /, also, remember sometime
ago when a number of girls ruin
ed their hose in the restroomS
as a result of some chemicals
being used, Larry Mankin of
fered the girls SIPS to reimburse
them for their total loss, Mr.
Beatty denied this.
Il Yet when Howard Seren asked
permission for the people involv-
ed in the grievance to come uE
to the Conference Room, at q
cost of another $4,000, Mr., Sibley
got economical and said the com
pany could not pay this griev-
ance. Mr.. BeiSwenger said the
people could make up the lost
hour but few weeks ago they
were opposed to collection for
the Plaskon workers because il
would slow down production
Now, | ask you, how long does
it take to drop quarter in q
can and pass it on
At the final disposition of the
meeting, the company said they
would not pay the lost time be
cause they did not believe the
grievance was justified,
We know the contract was
violated and in this case the
company chooses to ignore the
contract and in the case Of Will
son Beaverson, they want TO stick
to the contract entirely. Thi,
grievance is going into the mex
stage.
