Labor's
Endorsement Of
Mondale Was The
RightThing To Do!
For the past several months our
Journal has carried editorials and
fcatmed tlnidt:s which have favored
the acti on of the AFl·CIO
and its affihalcs, including the
lBEW, of endorsing Walter F. Mondale
for President of the United
States.
We arc now more than ever of
the firm opinion that labor's cndorsement
of fonner Vice President
Mondalc was the right thing
to dn. We have received many
expressions that commend the officers
of the Brotherhood on our
judgment and the stand taken on
the Mondalc enrlursclIlt:IH . We
have also received a few letters
taking exception to the endorsement.
As we have emphaticall y
pointed out before in paSt statements
which also have been printed
in the /ournal-evcry man and
woman in our Brotherhood, and
every man and woman in our
country of voting age or over, has
the right and privil ege of voting
for the candidate who in the voter's
opinion is the best qualified
to admmister the affairs of our
nation. That righ t is pan of an
individual's freedom given under
our wonderful democratic system,
a system that we are most fortunate
to live under and one that
never should be changed. But there
is one pomt I want to mak e very
clear. Your officers have an obli·
ga ted responsibility to the members
we serve to advise them on
all matters affecting their welfare
as we look after their hest interests
and that of our Brotherhood. This
includes keeping our members informed
and knowledgeable on political
and legislative matters that
affect their statuS in life as union
members.
Political :1ction, whether we like
it or not, has become an integral
pan of the trade union movement
and its programs to obtalll the
necessary legislation that brings
econom ic progress, protection and
security to union members and a ll
workers. Politic-'ll action by unions
is also needed to help fight against
the enemies of organized workers,
who for greed and profit have a
fervent desire to wipe legislauon
off the books that was enacted to
give workers the right to join
unions and to bargain collectively
with thei r employers. Today in
the White House we have a president
and his administration who
a.re most insensitive to workers'
needs, hostile to unions and who
arc predominantl y working in the
best interests of corporate business
and the wealthy class of our
nation.
Since taking offi ce President
Reagan and his administration
have, through their economic policies,
undermined the wages and
living standards of the workforce
of America. Also, in their futile
attempt to balance the budgct
through "Reaganomics," they have
also brought untold misery and
suffering to millions of unem ­
ployed workers, the elderly, the
poor, the sick and the disadvan·
taged.
Never in the history of orga·
nized labor has there been a morc
anti-union atmosphere generated
by a president and his adminis·
tration. By regulatory powers they
have decimated the protection affUlded
workers under OSHA,
Davis-Bacon, minimum-wagc-andhour
laws, and have stacked the
NLRB with people who have made
successful careers working for u l­
tra-conservative, anti-union organizations.
Even the U.S. Supreme
Court, evidently caught up in the
fever to bust unions, handed down
a horrendous decision which al ­
lows employers to escape their
obligations under a union contract
simply by implying bankruptcy,
nOt proving it.
There is only one answer to help
end the war against the effect iveness
of the trade union movement-
rid the White House and
the Congress of the enemies of
organized labor. One great step in
the right direction is to keep workmg
for the election of Walter F.
Mondale in November.

28th Annual Telephone
Conference Held In
Seattle, Washington
The 28th Annual Telephone Conference
was held In Seattle, Washmgton,
at the Red Lion Inn on May
2, 3 and 4, 1984. The Conference
was ca lled by International President
Pillard and was conducted by Telephone
Department Director Arthur
Perry and International Representatives
Wilham Davis and Mary Ann
Van Meter of the Telephone Department
staff.
The dcicgrllcs were welcomed to
Sea ttle by Marvin Willtams, presIdent
of the WashmglOll State Aft·
C IO, who gave an inspired talk on
the urgent need to "get out the vote"
In November and defeat Ronald Rcagan.
He reviewed the horrendous labor
record of the Reagan admllllStra­
Hon, particularly wuh the alltl-Iabor
appoll1tccS to the NLRB and federal
Judgeships. An additional welcome
was extended by International Vice
PreS1{ICnt Jack McCann of the Ninth
District, who brought grectlngs fmlll
PreSident Pillard and expressed thanks
and appreCiation to all the local UllIons
for their support over the past year
Director Perry, scrvl11g as Confer·
encc chairman, tntroduced the Inter·
nauonal Vice PrCSldents, Ch:lLrman

come was extended to our Canadwn
Brothers and Sisters of the First Vice
Presidential District who conducted
their All -Canada Telephone Confer·
ence In conjunction with the inter·
national Telephone Conference.
Director Perry then gave the An·
nual Report of the Telephone Dc·
partment highlighting the act\vllles
dunng the past year iO hargatning,
legislation, regulation and organtz-
1I1g. Sevcral cont ra cts were renegotiated
in the Telephone branch in
the Untted States and Canada, Illeluding
the Bcll Syslcm agreements,
and although those settlements were
nOI as Significant as some m the past,
the Bargainmg Committees were
nevertheless successful In turning
back many of the company's demands
for " glve·backs." Unfonunately,
many of those successes were
unattamable without strikes, whIch
has not becn necessary 10 the telephone
talks III the recent past.
In the area of regulalLon and leg·

session was made more elltoyable
WIth some nuxlIlg of humor, It nevertheless
brought home a message that
has become all too fanlllwT at many

"give-backs." A general discussion
followed, with selected delegates
plaYlllg the roles of a doctor, hospital
adminIstrator, Insurance representative,
and a rank·and·file member
who would be most affected by the
company's demands.
The Conference was then divided
Into six workshops that were charged
with the responSibility of developing
a union counterproposal. At the conclUSion
of the workshops, the full
Conference was reconvened and In ­
ternational RepresentatIve Roy
Dicklllson had reportS gIven by each

given a binder entitled Faclllg rhe

Telephone Conference.
Although the Canadwn delegation
IS not directly affected by the same
medical problems we face statewide,
due to their government-insured
health plan, they nevertheless partiCIpated
fully and gave the delegates
compansons of their medical coverages
vs. those available to U.S. members
under pnvate insurance carriers
Thesccond day of the Conference was
devoted to workshops that were broken
into four groups: Tralfic, inside Plant,
Outside Plant and Commercial Accounting,
and Clerical and Directory
In addJtion, a demonstration of the new
fiber optics, electrical supply wire and
telephone and data ClrCUIl conductors
was gtven to all the groups. On Friday,

reports were presented to the del ­

NOISE-AN OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH HAZARD
Do you find yourself turnmg up the volume of the TV or
radio when others thmk u 's And
Do you have trouble h CD IIII& conVCf3.H lOns when there's
background nOise, such as at a party! Docs your family
complam that you arc speakmg too loudly when you feci you
Me speakmg in normal tones! Do members of your famil y
seem to be mumblms or slurnng their words, making th~m
difficult to understand!
If you have experienced any of the above. It IS quite possIble
that yOli arc suffering from a heanng loss and need to sec a
doctor, preferabl y an otologIst or otolaryngologist (car speclal­

Most deafness today IS caused by exposure to excessive

of sound power that vanes from a to 194-the lowest to the
highesl sound levels that can occur. It can be measured,
accorellOg to the (requency of the sound, by several ddferent
formulas, or "scales" as they arc known. The "A" scale most
nearly IIpprOXI013teS the frequency response of the human car
and IS therefore used for most standards. Decibels measured
on the" A" scal e- slow response arc generally deSignated dBA.
The deCibel scal e IS II logarithmic scale, so that any in e rca~c
of 10 deCibels means the sound has increased \0 times. Thus,
70 dBA IS tcn times as loud as 60 dBA, and 94 dBA IS 100 1\0
x \01 times as loud as 74 dBA. In general, an mcrease of 3
dBA means the sound level has dvubled so that 83 dnA 18
twice as loud as 80 dBA.
While most standards in Canada and the U.S. prohibit
exposure above 90 dBA for an eight-hour period, or above liS
dnA for tllllCS as short as IS rrunutes, experts have for years
mdlcated that exposure to above 85 dBA for any length of time
can be damaglllg. Exposure above 100-11 5 dBA can cause
permanent damnge even though the exposure IS for a short
time.
AmpltAed rock musIc IS often III thiS liS dBA range, as IS
a car hom. A let plane at the ramp produces approximately
120 dBA, and on takeoff thiS mcrcases to the VIClOlly of 14$­

SUluld IS caused by Vibrations. Any sound, whether from a
violin smng that has been plucked or a piece of metal that
has been struck by a hammer, on glnates as a vibration. These
Vibrations compress and expand the all particles nexi !O them
very r3pldly. These air parlld(" movements spread as " waves"
through the surroundlllg au. These waves arc similar to those
caused by a stone thrown III stili water, III that they cominue
outward from the source III all directions, unless deflected,
and they gradually decreasc III IIltenstty as they travel.
Upon stnkmg the human car, the Vibrations arc transmuted
by the uny bones m the middle ear !O the cochlea, or mner
car. This deilcate organ IS filled with flUId and thousands of
tiny hairS. As the vlbr:1t IOnS from the middle ca r arc transmitted
to thiS flUid, the tiny hairS Vibrate, and transmit signals through
nerves to the bram. If these tiny hlurs arc caused to wave tOO
far or tOO much, they can become damaged, causmg heanng
loss. 1111s loss IS noticeably worse m the first hour or twO of
exposure than thel(~ after . Durmg thiS lime the tiny h:urs III
the cochlea become fa tigued, and while they may recover If
not exposed to excessive nOise for 24 hours, they ma y be
permanently dnmaged If the exposure continues.
Unfonun:ltely, mlmy times our cars MC cxposed to damagmg
sounds. Our youth wear stereo headsets, have stereos m their
rooms or attend rock eoncens where sound levels are ohen
dangerous. Many lob sites or work activities expose us to
excessive noise.
Sound h::vcls are measured by deCibel s. The decibel IS a Ulllt
WHAT CAN OUR SAFETY COM.MITTEES DO TO
PR EVENT HEARING LOSS FROM EXCESSIVE NOISE!
Committees should urge special meetings with employers
on cnglllecnng controls to reduce the noise level at the
workplace. Many times Sim ple measures will accomplish great
r edllr.. ll o n .~. Remember, a 20-dBA reduction means that 99
percent of the noise was eliminated (1/10 x VIII: 1/ 100 or I
percent of the nOise IS left1. Every possible effort should be
made 10 get the level to 80 dBA or less.
Committees should inSist on hearing prOteClion If the level
IS not reduced to below 85 dBA.
Whtle the IBEW fecls thllt earplugs or eannuffs are not
adequate protection, and that noise should be engmeered out
of the workplace, there may be occasions where such protecuve
equipment becomes necessary. Sdon: using such eqUipment,
howevcr, the worker needs to be tralOed not only 10 the proper
fitting and wearing of the protectors, but also In proper methods
of malOtalOlOg It. Earmuffs, while prOViding a maximum
u:Juetlon of 3O-JS deCibels when properly adjusted and fitted,
may only give a 10-dBA reduction if their seal IS broken by
hair or eyeglass temples or by sweat. In addition, they are
uncomfortable 11\ hot places and may cause headaches from -,
pre5Sure on the head F..1rplugs can reduce nOise reaching the
middle car by 1$-20 deCibels) however, they mUSt be md,vldualJy
fitted to have any appreciable effect. No twO car canals
arc the same shape or Size. Earplugs are easily lost and difficult
to keep clean. They can cause car infections or irntation and
can onl y be worn m healthy car canals. Sweat and physlC-.11
activity can cause leakage, makmg them less effective. Still,
until we succeed In getting the engineenng controls necessary,
these so-called protective deVices :tre better than allowing lh e
nOise to destroy our heanng!

Some never gCI the leading role.
Some never win the game,
Some never sec their name in

Or make their way to fame.
Some never see their greatest plans
Come true like they'd expected.
Some never ge l 10 Broadway

• Although it may seem you have
failed
And you think you must give in ;
Hey, you've just los 1 a battle,
The war's still yours to win.
Many men have succeeded
, W hen the fu ture looked quite
blue;
They never once gave up, and
won,
And you can do thai , too.
So if your future looks quite bleak
Just remember what I say:
Have some courage, don', give up

W hen a ma n meets a lady
And he likes what he sees,
He asks 10 meel her another day
Thai is if she please.
She looks him over from head 10

And she notices his eyes are blue,
His hair is black and he's ralher

And she lells him, " I would love 10
see you again."
Then after six years of sleady
company,
The wedding took place and a
happy one, too .
With its good and bad limes, we
paid Ihe price,
And raised three children, and they
were all nice.
After 55 years, I losl what I gained;
And may I meet her again , but I

The Park
I was at the park one day
And saw the children play.
They had dirt on their hands
Which mothers never plan,
But they wash them off
With neat lillie cloths.
When it's time to go home,
They grump and groan.
So mother promises them
Icc cream cones.
Then they go home
And it's time for a nap
And they all snuggle up
To mother's tap
And dream of playing
At the park another day.

They started out new back in 1980;
Their class was young, wild, and
crazy.
Although they were just beginning
back then.
four years have gone by and now
it's th e end.
New friendships were made that
will last and last,
As they face the future
remembering the past.
So good luck to you graduates, I'll
say it once more:

Election Time
The campaign ta lkin' has begun,
The presi dent's act ing should be
done.
If you believe in lies, Brother. then
vole Reagan's slate,
And I'll guarantee you , Brother,
you'll have an empty plate.
If you believe in Reagan , you'd
beller be a millionaire,
'Cau se if you're not, Brother, he
really doesn't care.
We had better wise up, Brother,
and vole out this novice,
And clect a Democrat who can run
this office.
Ronnie was an actor; he wasn't
even good at that ,
But as our president he really fell
flal.
The soup lines are lo ng, the
promises unfilled,
If you vote for Reagan , Brother,
you're really unskilled.
If you' re a union Brother, you
should be very proud,
But if you vote for Reagan , I'd
whisper in a crowd.
The Republicans fight labor and
always will,
So vote Democratic and gCI a job
still.
The administration is now trying to
turn a new leaf,
Bu t please, Mr. President, wherc's
the beef?
