COMMENT 

HELP LABOR'S 

FRIENDS 

SUPPORT 

IBEW-COPE 

The outcome of the 1986 

congressional elections are most 

vital to the members of organized 

labor. Labor faces a uemendous 

task and must work 

harder than ever to roll back 

the strength of the antiunion, 

right-wing conservatives in the 

U.S. Senate while rctaining 

Democratic conuol of the u.s. 

House of Representatives. 

Friend of labor must be reelected 

to office and other candidates 

must be elected who 

are also committed to full-employment 

programs, worker ' 

right to organize and bargain 

collectively, and strong legislative 

protection for the elderly 

and the poor. This meanS that 

the members of unions, their 

families, and their friends must 

support COPE-backed regi tration 

driVes, political education, 

and get-out-the-vote programs 

in the 1986 elections. 

There is no doubt that the 

antiunion groups and their 

splinter organizations have 

joined together and have organi 

zed a national program of 

political action that is designed 

ro sweep Oll t of Congress all 

the fri ends of workers and have 

elected III traconservative candidates 

who believe strictly in 

antiunion principle and exploitation 

of workers. 

These enemies of unions and 

all the workingpeople have already 

rai ed a political war chest 

of millions of dollars to be used 

against labor's friends who serve 

in Congress. 

Fonunately, organized workers 

have many political friends 

who place integrity and honesty 

ill their beliefs for doing 

what is be t for all the workingpeople 

ill our country ahead of 

the greed and profit desires of 

big bllsine and unscrupulous 

employers. 

Labor's frie nds need financial 

help to finance their election 

campaigns. Uncler the laws 

of the land governing political 

contributions, there is only one 

way union members can protect 

their friends and their legislative 

rights-IDEW-COPE is 

the way. mEW-COPE needs 

your financial help. The 1986 

IBEW-COPE Voluntary Contribution 

books Lavt: been mailed 

to all local unions. It is the 

responsibility of local union officers 

to contact the members 

and ask for active participation 

in the voluntary contribution 

campaIgn. Hopefully, all the 

local unions of the Brotherhood 

in every District will participate 

in 1986 IBEW-COPE programs. 

Many bills have been introduced 

in Congress this year 

that are detrimental to workers' 

rights, security, and protection. 

Many more are expected 

to be introduced. The 

enemies of labor in Congress 

:lre working, planning, and 

scheming to have lahor unions 

controlled by drastic antitrust 

laws. 

Our enemies' aim is to 

weaken or completely destroy 

the .legislative m eans by which 

the workingpcople are able to 

protest unfair wages and hazardous 

working conditions from 

being irnpu~ed upon them. The 

enemies of union who fought 

against the social and economic 

welfare of workers ill 

the past are the same enemies 

who today are trying to take 

away the gains that labor has 

fo ught so hard for and won over 

the past 50 years. 

Workers need legislative 

fri end who will vote for laborsponsored 

legislation that cal ls 

for jobs programs, fai r trade, 

fair taxation, health care, unemployment 

compen ation, 

quality education, safety, clean 

air and water, and penSion security. 

Intemational Secretary Moore 

and I urge all IBEW members 

to participale in lBEW-COPE. 

At no other time has it been 

so imperative that the slogan 

"Elect our friends and defeat 

Olii enemies" be put to the test. 

Support IBEW-COPE.

UnIOnIsm I a very f./m IJar word 

to me. Growing up With a father and 

twO brothers who arc union members 

of the International Brotherho d 

of Electncal Workers and. mother 

who presently work as a secretary 

for a un ion contract r, Uluonism has 

definitely influenced my life socially, 

econonucally, and politically. 

I can only wntc about uni oOlsm 

based on my own experi ence and 

p,eces of Information I have lea rned. 

My college hiStory book definHely 

document lriumph and tragcdie in 

the American lab r movement, but 

there are also union triumphs and 

tragedIes I have Secn in my Own 

lifetime. Th,s Influence and awareness 

of unIonism '" my life ha 

helped me to better understand what 

unions stand for and the contribution 

they have made 10 thIS country. 

Uruons, SInce their existence, have 

prOVIded workers III any trade with 

a feeling of togetherness, belongll1g, 

or brotherhood. ThIS brotherhood 

proVIde an orgamzatlon of members 

who have the same lob interests and 

pobucaJ alld SOCIal viewpoll1ts. A 

common ground of opllllOn and concerns 

can be the ba is of friendship, 

and uruons oftcn become thIS SOCIal 

common ground. My father and 

brothers have made Ilfetune friends 

through the UJlIon, friends they could 

coun t on in any situatiol\ good or 

bad. Fncndshlp IS such a valuable 

part 01 life, thus, to belong to an 

organization such as a ullion i. del 

il1ltely hcndlelal to the individuaJ. 

Socially unions can provide friend- 

10 I ISEW JOURNAL! JUNE 1986 

sillp. They also can be a basis for 

members' morals and ideals. The 

id ea 01 solidarity in umons giv es 

members a feeling of status, a feeli ng 

that they belong and that they count. 

Knowing that he counts and is n t 

just a number in big bus in ess nr 

industry, a lInion worker ha integrity 

and, therefore, takes pride in his 

work and hi s life. r am glad that I 

was rai cd with union ideals of honesty, 

fairness, respect for oth ers, and 

pride in myself and my fanuly. 

Unfortunately, there are tho e who 

don't value the ideal of unionism 

as much as others do. The tragedy is 

that these people are the ones who 

give uniohs a bad name. The corruption 

of union leaders and their abuse 

of power can weaken the unions. 

Throughout the histoty of uniomsm, 

tbcre have been scandals, extortion, 

and questiunable usc or uuiull IIlUIIies. 

These much-publicized scandals 

cast a hadow on the very purpnse 

of unionism. Corruption is not on 

Isolated Instance in UDlons, It can be 

apparent down to the mallest local 

and member. This is probably one of 

the bJggest tragcdle III unIOnism 

loday_ Corruption has to be fo ught 

on every level If unions are to survIve. 

The very survival of American 

umons IS because they arc political 

structures. Unjons represent a collective 

group of opinions and interests. 

They serve a a channel to 

express discontent not only to their 

employers, but to our government as 

well. Unions have become One of the 

most powerful political group m our 

country camp3Jgnmg for their candidales 

With common intere ts and 

concerns. T he ideas of power in numbers 

and solidarity arc very appa rent, 

c pecially in politiCS today. Pres ident 

Reagan d"mnnstrated his opinion of 

union a few years ago whcn he 

smashed the Air Traffic Controllers 

Union. This limon tragedy might 

have been avoided had every other 

American union stood by the Air 

Traffic Controll ers and used their 

political power. Hopefully, union 

member realize this so that the 

situation won't happen again. This 

InCIdent demonstrates that unions 

arc a pobue.1 structure and should 

use their power to protect their own. 

The di olution of the Air Trallic 

Controllers Union was a union tragedy. 

It economIcally destroyed Illany 

famllie ·. Theus was a uruon like any 

other that provided steady work, job 

eCUIlty, and benefits to all members 

and their familIes. When the union 

was de troy ed, so was their econOIllJC 

secunty. If this ituation waS 

allowed to happen once, it could 

happen ag31J'l to any union or any 

union famIly. The example of the 

Air Traffic Controllers lInion is nne 

of the reasons to fight for the preservation 

of unIOn on Amenca. The 

lrtumphs wlll outweigh the tragedie 

. Unions provide the economic 

well-bcws of millions of American 

families. l1ley also provide a social 

and political situation for people with 

common ideals and opinion .

Industrial Construction: The Impact of the U.S. Trade Deficit 

The u.s merchandIse trade balance 

ran a deficit of 52.7 bllhon III 1971 , the 

Arst ome the counrry had imported more 

goods than it hau exported since 1893 

Since then, AIl''1crica's trAde deficit has 

ballooned to coloss31 defiCIt" with a

Statcs. II 

The C mmerce Depanmcnt prolect 

selected five manufacturing mdustncs 

that were among the largest customers 

of Industnal construction for morc detad 

ed study of the cffects of international 

trade on industnal conStruction. It detemllncd 

that the trade ba lance for these 

five industries has worsened since 1981, 

when the trade deficit began to worsen 

dramatically, and noted that this was lIa 

pattern similaI to that for the overall 

manufactunng sector. " It concluded that 

"new plants arc belOg built abroad to 

upply U.S. marke.s, thus restricting the 

need for mdustnal construction ill the 

United States." The mEW would add to 

tbat sta.emen. that these plants are bemg 

bUlIt abroad, not primarily out of the 

need to meet OmpCtlllOn, but out of 

corporate greed for greater profits. Frequently, 

many of the products manufactured 

abroad by U.S. -based multina.ional 

corporations sell for the same price as 

whcn manufactured III the U.S. 

Stnlclure-intcnsivc industries Isucb as 

pnmary meta):, Ilnd petroleum refining) 

normally would be tbe largest purchasers 

of IIldustrial construction. However, these 

Industnes arc "among the most distressed 

by Import~ . The chemicals Ill· 

dustry 1S the only major struc[urC-lIltcnsive 

mdustry with a positlvc trade balance, 

and even thiS ~urplus IS in jeopardy. H 

Dunng the rcst of lhl~ decade, the petrochemical 

industry will "probably reduce 

it expenditures for new industnal Structures, 

largely because of internatlOnal 

trade factors." Investment Ul U .S. plants 

111 the petrochemIcal tndustry "will be 

mostly for modernIzatiOn rather Ihan 

capacity expanSion, wlth relallvely Ic:,s 

constructlun per dollar of investment." 

Despite the large U.S. trade deAci. an 

petroleum produl,;ts, the petroleum refin 

Ing IIldustry was the Idrgest customer (or

The auto manufactunng IIldustry,

ABOVE ALL: KEEP YOU R HEAD 

Many times we have heard thl 

adVIce, yet a study of accldenl reports 

shows that many of our member 

gel careless about pr teCllng their 

heads on the job. Head protection 

(hard hats) is provided to protect us 

frtlm falling objects, fr m smklllg 

objects with our head In t.ght space, 

or from electrical Cfmlact when 

work!l1g near elecmcal equipment. 

Hard hats arc des.gned with shapes 

that lend to deflect falling objects 

and have a uspens",n system de· 

s.gned to absorb as much of the 

.mpact as p ssible whde spreading 

the remamder ovcr a larger area_ 

Whde the hard hat ma)', In the case 

of heavy object falhng great di - 

tances, dent or even shatter, it still 

has absorbed a great deaJ of the un· 

pa t before doing so. This shockab 

orblIlg action has saved many lives 

and reduced many injunes. Without 

such protection an item such as a 

wrench dropped only a few feet, could 

not only calISe a skull fracture, It 

could drive panicles of bone Into the 

bra.n causmg permanent d.sability 

or dcath 

This hould explain why hard hats 

should be regularly impected to see 

that there are no nicks, scratches, or 

dents that could weaken the malerial 

and also to sec that the shock-absorb1llg 

uspension syslem is prop· 

erly adju ted to the head SlZe and 

securely attached to the shell. When 

properly adjusted the sheH has a protective 

pace between It and the head.

S afety on the job is 

very important to ISEW 

members. Hard hats, 

ear muHs, eye goggles, 

they're more than just 

common sense 

approaches to your job, 

they could save your 

life, or cou ld save you 

from serious injury. So 

many times we hear of 

a member injured on 

the job site, and many 

times that injury could 

have been prevented or 

lessened if proper 

safety procedures had 

been followed . The 

ISEW has historically 

been concerned with 

safety on the job. 

When on the job, 

get the proper 

safety equipment 

-and use it!
