JAWS GUARANTEED
EMPLOYMENT PLAN

Question: What happens if there
is not enough money to pay all
guarantee claims?
Answer: The danger of insufficient
funds would be greatest if heavy
layoffs occurred in the early pc
riod of the plan while the reserve
trust fund is being accumulated.
Under such circumstances, it
would be necessary to divide up,
as equitably as possible, such funds
as are available for payment of
guaranteed wage obligations.
We would have to have a for
mula to insure fair distribution of
the money available. This formula
for distribution of guaranteed wage
funds would have to assure that all
the monies available would not be
used up in the payment of guar
antees to low-seniority workers
who would be the first to be laid
off. Provision would be made to
protect the equity of the higher
seniority workers in case they were
laid off later.
Ine International Union Study
Committee has given careful atten-
tion to the development of a prac-
tical and suitable formula.
1t should be kept in mind, of
course, that unless company
closes all its plants completely,
there will still be certain amount
of money available every week for
guarantee payments as a result of
the employers obligation to pay
the specified maximum percentage
of his remaining payroll.
In addition, so long as the COM
pany continues in business, work
ers who do not receive their full
guarantee payments at the time
they are laid off may expect to
receive them at some subsequent
time.
The best answer to this problem,
of course, is the establishment of
an adequate system of reinsurance
which would serve to avoid entire

STEVE J. NovAK, PRES.
LOCAL 407, uAW-cio

The call has gone out for volun-
teer workers to assist in the circu-
lation of initiative petitions, SO the
issue of a decent unemployment
compensation law for this state
can be decided by the voters in
November.
Last year union members
throughout the state did fine job
in obtaining the necessary sigma
lures on initiative petitions to have
the measure submitted to the State
Legislature. The Legislature has re-
fused to take. positive action. In
fact ultra-conservatives in the state
Capitol have not only spurned the
workers pleas for a humane com
pensation law but they went fur
ther to recommend additional re-
strictive amendments ii the pres
ent shameful law.
So once again it is up to labor
in Ohio to lead the fight for social
justice. We intend to make it pos
sible for the citizens to register
their own opinions regarding un-
employment compensation.

A few columns back we predict

will be given in this country on
family allowances" On June 14th,
Senator Richard Neuberger of Ore
gon opened the drive for family
benefits. In speech before the
Senate of the United States he
introduced resolution which calls
for study of the Canadian pro-
gram of family allowances with
view toward introducing such
system in this country.
Here's how one newspaper greet
ed Ford and GINS UAW-CIO ne
gotiated contracts: 1.-THE United
Auto Workers have done it. After
years of Intensive planning :.
they hare established major
precedent by contractually obli-
eating an employer to protect the
welfare of his employees.
1T h is accomplishment marks
one of the most significant achieve
ments of the trade union move
ment in the course of its entire
history. In many ways it even
more revolutionary feat than the
JAWS efforts in other fields, surh
as pension plans. Through the
drive and vigor of Walter Reuther
and the solidarity of the upiSp'S
membership the Amerisan work
ingman has taken his longest stride
toward adequate protection against
the scourge OF unemployment since
the origins of unemployment insur-
ance programs a decade or two
ago." 80

Is Milk a Good BUy?-
The price of milk has increased
less than personal incomes and less
than the prices of most other FOODS
in the last 1920 years. Milk prices
have increased by 1o% since 1947-
48 and the prices of all foods have
increased by more than 1870
Since 1943, milk prices have in
creased by 48% compared to a
$50 increase for all foods. So
price wise, milk is certainly a good
buy today and it is always good
buy nutritionWise.
