It was clear that South held

Seniority
Protected

Of vital Importance to everyone
on any job is the protection of their
seniority rights. In the Gabriel
plant, much confusion has been
raised over this issue and many of
the older workers have become
quite concerned.
You will not lose any seniority.
Everyone's Seniority will remain
eXactly y as it is now.
In fact, all of the seniority agree
ments, practices and policies which
were approved by the Gabriel men,
bership and were in effect while the
"old elected committee" was in Of
flee and since have been changed
by the new appointed committee"
without the approval of the mem
bership, will be restored when the
Teamsters win this election.
Seniority was ruled as a prop
erty right by the California
Supreme Court and no one can take
it away. 1t is not something that
is given to a person and then taken
away. Seniority is a status you've
secured by length of service to
Company, not a Union. 1t gives a
worker certain rights and privi-
leges in connection with promo
tions, vacations and pensions.
Affiliation with the Teamsters
will strengthen your Seniority
rights.

Gabriel Workers Will Have
Own Charter With Teamsters

Biggest complaint against the
LAM Union in the Gabriel plant
stems from the Trusteeship i'm
posed upon the members thereby
depriving all of democratic actions
on their own behalf.
Continued efforts over the years
to change this situation and to OBJ
tain autonomy with chartered
local for Gabriel alone has proven
fruitless.
Affiliation with the International
Teamsters Union will remedy this
in a series Of steps which follow
logically and in legal order.
The first milestone to be passed
is the election on Tuesday, Sep
tember 10Th, at which time all
workers will vote on whether they
wish to stay with the IAN or
change to Teamsters Local 293.
Once the change to the Teamsters
Union is certified, an election will
be called Immediately to elect, by
secret ballot, a shop steward and
East Cleveland leader. [volume] (East Cleveland, Ohio) 1942-1970, 1961-09-14
Secret Election
Will Set Dues

While much has been said around
the Gabriel plant about the rate
of dues which will be paid by
workers once they belong to the
Teamsters Union. the fact is that
the dues will stay the same, S4.OO
per month.
The Landrum- Griffin Law states
that dues cannot be changed ex-
cept by a secret ballot vote by the
entire membership of the Union.
Gabriel dues will remain at $4.00
month for as long as Gabriel
workers wish it that way.
AS special concession for Ga
briel workers, the Teamsters
Union has waived the initiation fee
for all workers. This includes all
who have been laid off. There will
be no assessments now or in the
future.
New employees to be hired in
the future will pay an initiation
fee which will be set by Gabriel
workers in secret ballot vote.

NEED STRENGTH

Abranovich concluded with an
appeal to his fellow workers that
they alert themselves to the dan
gers of losing their benefits and
privileges.
He said, "A change is inevitable.
1t had to come. These conditions
have become unbearable. am ap-
pealing to all Gabriel workers to
vote for a change in the NLRB
election this Tuesday. Affiliated
with the Teamsters, we will be as
sured Of a local autonomy and the
right to elect our own Committee
men for the vital job Of maintain
ing our rights and seeing that the
terms of the contract are upheld"

READ THE CONTRACT

Robert kopec, one of the Gabriel
Freedom Fighters recently tore
the mask off lam charges that the
Teamsters were raiding the Union
utterly ridiculous. said kopec,
"and every worker in the plant
knows this to be a fact. The news
papers in our City gave this charge
widespread coverage in attempts
to smear our sincere efforts to i'm
prove conditions for ourselves"
"We have documented evidence
to prove that a decision was made
TO leave the LAM some time ago, !"
said kopec,' and it was undecided
whether to establish an independ-
ent Union, or, affiliate with some
other international"
"In fact" kopec pointed out,
eve had already applied to the
Secretary of State for charter
and a name to be used should the
decision be made to go Independent.
1t later developed that an affilia-
ton with strong and aggressive
international would make our
Change-over easier and would en-
able our people to share in greater
pension and welfare benefits"
1--WE approached the Teamsters
on the matter to determine whether
they would accept and assist US in
our efforts to achieve autonomy Of
our own After considerable delib-
erations, the Teamsters accepted
our proposals and decided to assist
US.
ut Is unfortunate, said kopec,
that the LAM decided to conduct
smear campaign against various
East Cleveland leader. [volume] (East Cleveland, Ohio) 1942-1970, 1961-09-14

In joint statement by the
Gabriel Teamsters Committee, the
reasons for asking affiliation with
the Teamsters Union was revealed.
Traditionally and historically,
the international Teamsters Union
has always supported any and all
organized Unions in their efforts
TO win better conditions, higher
pay and fringe benefits. Their con-
Germ for the working man is deep
rooted and genuine. Even though
