COMMENT
THE COURSE OF
REAGANOMICS
MUST BE
CHANGED
When the millions of American
voters go to the polls on November
6 to cast a ballot to elect the
next president, the results of that
voting will l10t only determine the
political and economic course the
nation will take for the next four
years, it will also have a great
beuing on the nation's future
course for the rcst of this century.
To ensure that Amenca as a
nation will have a future course
of peace and prosperity, the next
president and his administration
should espouse a course of poUt·
ieal and social ideologies that promOte
programs of fairness, job opportunities,
peace, health and
security for a1l citizens-this
course was not taken during the
past four years under President
Reagan and his administration.
" Reaganomics" was the course
taken creating the largest federal
budget deficit in the history of the
nation causing American workers,
minonues, poor and elderly to
suffer economic and social setbacks,
while the wealthy and the
large multinational corporations
prospered from the biggest tax
giveaways in history. Workers in
and below the middle-class income
brackets gamed very httle
or nothmg from the unfair Reagan
tax cuts, and today workers' realwage
earnings have reached the
lowest level since 1979. Statistics
also reveal that the poverty rate
is the highest in almost 20 years
and that the middle class has been
shrinking under Reaganomics. Also
during the Reagan administration,
a most powerful and effective pohuca]
anti-union crusade has been
conducted. The war against Uluons
and its members has been spearheaded
by President Reagan's conservative
administration, aided and
abetted by the ultra-conservative,
right wing members of Congress.
These anti-union actions arc bemg
financed by the rich advocates of
a " union-free" society. Labormanagement
relations are at a low
ebb, and many umons have been
forced into strikes because employers
refuse to bargain in good
fnith.
Management has been encouraged
by the admmistration to
break strikes by hning scabs and
strikebreakers, which is easy to
do today because of the millions
of unemployed who are desperate
for jobs. Givebacks and concessions,
plant hhutdowns, runaway
shops and more tactics of union
busting arc increasing-all designed
to destroy the workers' hfe­
Ime, the free collective bargammg
system. Unemployment compensation,
worker's injury compensation,
minimum wage and hour
laws, pension protection, Social
Security, Railroad Retirement,
Medicare and Medicaid, all benefits
that the trade union movement
has brought to all workers
of America, are also in danger of
being sorely diminished or taken
away entirely. The protection and
rights given to workers under the
National Labor Relations Act to
organize and bargain collectively
enacted by Congress over 50 years
ago is beingdestToycd by PreSident
Reagan and his anti-union cohorts.
In a further effort to break the
backs of unions, the U.S. Department
of Labor and the National
Labor Relations Board, traditionally
neutral agencies both created
by Congress to protect the interest
of workers, are now active adver·
sanes of the American trade union
movement. This is Ul11uSt and unfair
to aU workers because when
union workers' standards are broken
down, it affects both organized
workers and the unorganized.
Members of organized labor are
as loyal and dedicated to the progress
and future of America as any
segment in our SOCiety and have
proven It many times when called
upon in times of national emergencies.
Unions and thelT members
want opportunities for progress
for themselves and their
families. We want iobs, a healthy
economy along with social equity
and lustice. We arc Willing to do
our part and pay our fair share to
keep our country a free and democratic
nation. However, to obtain
these goals the economic and social
course of Reaganomics mUSt
be changed.

will suppOrt legislation dcsigncd to
advance the interest of working men

In Las Vegas, Nevada
'"
L
For the 40th Annual Ninth DIstrict
Progress MCCllllg, International
Vice President S. R. " Jack" McCann
chose the beautiful Dunes Hotel to
Las Vegas, Nevada. The Mcctlllg
schedule called for registration on
the evenmg of September 4, fulldelegate
meeting September 5 and
workshops and a report by the VIce
President on Septembe r 6.
The Progress Meeting was opened
by Temporary Chalfman Roy Smith,
business m:magcr of Local 357, Las
Vegas. Local 357 President Cecil
Wynn led the delegates In the Pledge
of Allcgta.ncci and cohost Merle Cdc,
busmess manager, Loc;! 1 396, wei·
corned everyone to Las Vegas. VIce
President McCann assumed the duues
of the chair, and hiS first action
was to have the deicgallon stand for
a moment of silence In memory of
beloved International Secretary
Ementus Joseph O. Keenan who
passed away. VICC President McCann
lhen introduced the new bUSiness
managers who have assumed office
slOce the last Progress Meeting. The
~ moment then arrived that all the
delegates look forward to each year
as Vi ce President McCann mtro·
I duced our esteemed President,
Charles H. Pillard. President Pillard
spoke on many Important sublects,
~ not the least of which was our strug­
..., gle for survival under the biggest
anu·umon crusade we have ever faced,
namely Reaganomics. He sa id we
must purge from our midst Reagan·
omics and what it stands fOf. He
-.
then played an interesting tape of a
1948ILGWU radio show dunng which
, Reagan expressed his opinions at that
time in opposition to the Republican
i Party's overall policies which were
the complete reverse of hiS present
position. It IS hoped that the message
brought to the membership by our
..., lntemational President will have been
heeded and we will all have lent our
support to the Mondale· Ferraro ticket.
Partial VIew 01 the delegates at lhe general seSSIOn
PreSident Ptllard gave:1 broad out·
hne on the operatton of the Brother·
hood. He commented on the misfor·
tunes of a number of local UOions,
forced by economics and plant clo·
sures to cut back all wages and fflnges
and amend the working conditions
which have taken years to achlcve.
On a brighter note, Prcsidcnt PiI·
lard Informed the delegation that the
Health and Welfare ReCiprocity Plan,
which provides medical protecllon
for ovcr 200,000 of our travehng
Brothers and their dependents, was
now at 99.2 percent of complctlon.
On thiS subleCt, he posed the queslion,
" Why would a local area want
10 prevent a Visiting member, attemptmg
to help thalloc~tl arca fulfill
ItS manpower nceds, from protecttng
the member and his famtly from
cconOllllC hardship!"
Now that the IBEW Health and

in place, PreSident Pillard also brought
the delegates up·to·date on the IBEW
PensIOn ReCIprocity Program. He
made a profound St3 tCmen l, which
the delegates endorsed through their
applause, when he stated, " Any area

TODAY'S GREATEST HAZARD
Dlle of the greatest hazards to the

Yes, many have not rccogmzcd the fact
thaI one of the greatest hazards to the
health and safelY of the u.s. wo rkers
was the eJectton of Ronald Reagan four

Acid of occupati onal sllfety and health,
and for o ther purposes."
The Act, as passed by Congress and
Signed IntO law In 1970, states In ::'cctlon
S{a) that " Each employer----l l l shall furnish
[0 each of hIS employees employmcnt
Jnd a p13ee of employment whIch
arc free from recogntzed hazards that arc
cauSing or arc iLkely to cause death or

This Act sets up provisIOns for adoption
of safety and health standards and

The Relapse of Labor-Management Relations

DUring the laS[ four years, the atmos·

thiS country has deteriorated markedly.
With the firing of the al T trafAc controllers
in the Professional Air Traffic Controllers
Organization (PATeDI, the Rcag:ln

signal lhtlt it would condone management's
irresponsible conduct in laborm:mllg~mcnt
relations. 111c dud executive
officer at Greyhound was therehy
cncoura,.gcd to demand concessions from
the company's orgamzed employees under
threats of hiring strikebreakers. Such
threa ts have been ea rned even further by
management at Phelps Dodgel and a fullfledged,
union·blIStingcamp:ugn, aCcom ·
pamed by the busing-in of scabs escorted
by sute police and the nauonal guard, IS
bemg waged against ItS orgamzed workers.
Continental Alllmcs used bankruptcy
as a pretext for dlscardmg the
comract It had negotiated with its work·
ers. Long-established labor·management
relauonships and even la ws se tting the
boundanes of such rei;ltlonshlps arc un·
der severe strain.
[t IS the law of this land that workers
have the nglll to orgamze and to ba rga m
collectively. The National Labor Rela·
tions Act of 1935 (the Wa.gner Act) establi
shed the principle that employees
should be protected in their rights to
organize into labor organlzauons and to
bargall1 collectively conce ming their
wages and working eondilions. The act
forbids cmployers to engage m five spe­
Cific unfall lalxJI plolctices: I ) mlerfenng

Our land is free. our home secure,
There arc many freedoms for all.
Bul with Thanksgiving comes a
responsive lune;
• Witl you heed the call?
Each year we celebrate a special
day
Giving thanks for aU we have.
Yet for many this day may be laden
with Icars,
Approached in a different way.
Few have jobs, some less food,
hear a child's cry?
Should we stop a moment to
wonder why?
Few have a 101 , many have so lillie,
We heave a weighted sigh.
So come together, close the ranks,
Support your union today.
We'll work for better conditions
-
right now,
And as a nation we can pray.
Ves, th ere arc hardships we all
mu st face
But there's God and faith , 'lis true;
• For those who believe can truly
give thanks
For people such as you !
