    (CWA) Before the US House Committee On

    Testimony of Christopher M. Shelton, President, Communications Workers of America (CWA) Before the U.S. House Committee on Ways and Means March 27, 2019 “The 2017 Tax Law and Who it left Behind” Thank you Chairman Neal, Ranking Member Brady and Members of the Committee for inviting me to testify today. My name is Christopher Shelton and I am the President of the Communications Workers of America (CWA). CWA represents approximately 700,000 workers in the telecommunications, media, airline, manufacturing, health care and public sectors in the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada. We appreciate having the opportunity to testify today at this hearing on the 2017 tax law because it was one of the most consequential pieces of legislation to be enacted in some time that directly impacts all our members’ lives in many ways, regardless of the sector of the economy they work in. Unfortunately, during the debate and consideration of that legislation there were no hearings or forums where we were given an opportunity to directly share with this Committee or others in Congress our views on how the tax code could be reformed or restructured to benefit working American families. Hearings like this one should have been held before the law was rushed through Congress. So we are deeply grateful Chairman Neal for you and the Committee now giving us an opportunity to share our views on how the new tax law has impacted working Americans’ lives. CWA strongly believes that our tax code needs restructuring and reform and we followed the debate on the tax cut closely.

  • The Role of the Trotskyists in the United Auto Workers, 1939- 1949

    The Role of the Trotskyists in the United Auto Workers, 1939- 1949

    The Role of the Trotskyists in the United Auto Workers, 1939- 1949 Victor G. Devinatz Willie Thompson has acknowledged in his survey of the history of the world- wide left, The Left in History: Revolution and Reform in Twentieth-Century Politics, that the Trotskyists "occasionally achieved some marginal industrial influence" in the US trade unions.' However, outside of the Trotskyists' role in the Teamsters Union in Minneapolis and unlike the role of the Communist Party (CP) in the US labor movement that has been well-documented in numerous books and articles, little of a systematic nature has been written about Trotskyist activity in the US trade union movement.' This article's goal is to begin to bridge a gap in the historical record left by other historians of labor and radical movements, by examining the role of the two wings of US Trotskyism, repre- sented by the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) and the Workers Party (WP), in the United Auto Workers (UAW) from 1939 to 1949. In spite of these two groups' relatively small numbers within the auto workers' union and although neither the SWP nor the WP was particularly suc- cessful in recruiting auto workers to their organizations, the Trotskyists played an active role in the UAW as leading individuals and activists, and as an organ- ized left presence in opposition to the larger and more powerful CP. In addi- tion, these Trotskyists were able to exert an influence that was significant at times, beyond their small membership with respect to vital issues confronting the UAW. At various times throughout the 1940s, for example, these trade unionists were skillful in mobilizing auto unionists in opposition to both the no- strike pledge during World War 11, and the Taft-Hartley bill in the postwar peri- od.
  • U.S. Labor's 1967 Wage Approach

    U.S. Labor's 1967 Wage Approach

    William U.S. LABOR’S 1967 Allan WAGE APPROACH The Detroit correspondent of the US W orker tells of coming struggles on the wages front, and some new features of those struggles. THERE’S A NEW KIND of struggle note sounding off in the ranks of American labor on the eve of negotiations for close to 4,000,000 workers in 1967. “Substantial wage increases” is what you hear, along with no wage freezes; instead, wage re-openers after one year. Warmade inflation and higher profit making are being pointed to in union meetings as new factors in boosting these demands. Negotiating in ’67, will be a million teamsters, a million auto workers, thousands in maritime, railroads, telephone. A million steel workers whose wages are frozen until ’68 are champing at the bit to break loose from that freeze and go get a piece of those steel profits. Half a million workers employed in national, state and city governments, always tied to whatever crumbs politicians will give them, today are walking picket lines, taking strike votes, and are shaking up the city hall, state capitals and Washington. They want at least $2.80 an hour instead of $1.50. United Auto Workers’ Union president, Walter Reuther, always thought to be a pacesetter in labor negotiations, in Long each, California, last June at his union convention told the 3,000 ^legates he favored “an annual salary”. It fell flatter than a Pancake and nowT Reuther is talking of a “substantial wage jttcrease”. He will convene 3,000 delegates from his 900 locals April here in Detroit to finalise the 1967 demands.

SABITONI General President General Secretary-Treasurer In our 24th year, the Peggy Browning Fund (PBF) pays tribute to our inspiration, Peggy Browning, and to exceptional leaders who have made major contributions to the cause of workers’ rights. Peggy was a very special person – a Member of the National Labor Relations Board; an extraordinary labor lawyer; a skilled ice skater; a hiker; a loving wife and mother; a caring friend and true supporter of the collective bar- gaining process. PBF was established in 1997 by her friends and family to continue her life’s work – helping workers. We thank everyone whose support helped us become the preeminent organization in the country for encouraging and recruiting new lawyers for the labor movement. Our central program is a 10-week summer fellowship in which law students are matched with the needs of a pool of 70 mentoring organizations, including unions, worker centers, and union-side law firms. As everyone is experiencing, 2020 has become a very challenging year for the Peggy Browning Fund and for working people. When everyone received stay-at- home orders in their states due to the pandemic, we had already awarded 91 Summer Fellowships to first and second-year law students. Thanks to a lot of outreach and creativity from PBF staff and our mentors, we’re very happy to report that most of our mentor organizations were able to transition these fellowships to either work from home or another reasonable solution.

    1192 ECONOMIC SECURITY ACT where the deceased had his home at the time of his death. Only the Federal Government can effectively distribute the burden, because only it can effectively reach incomes and inheritances and make them available for the people of all States. We must remember that the bill here considered does not depend for its con­ stitutionality on any consideration of the “interstate commerce power”, upon , the argument that the regulation of intrastate business is necessary because of its effect on interstate business. In this respect, this bill rests on a far sounder con­ stitutional basis than do the N. R. A. and the A. A. A. Those acts stand or fall, depending upon the extent to which the interstate commerce power can be prop­ erly exercised. But this bill is merely an exercise of the appropriating power. It rests upon the same constitutional basis as do the Reconstruction Finance Corporation Act and Home Owners’ Loan Corporation Act, which involve merely an exercise of the power of Congress to spend Federal moneys. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation Act, the Home Owners’ Loan Cor­ poration Act, and, indeed, the bulk of the national emergency legislation which has been enacted during the Hoover and Rooseveit administrations, involve an understanding of the national character of our problems. Furthermore, they indicate an appreciation of the inadequacy and the cumbersomeness of the Federal subsidy system. These acts all provide for direct aid to persons, firms, and cor­ porations in the States. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation supplies Federal moneys direct to bankers throughout country. The Home Owners’ Loan Corporation supplies Federal moneys direct to mort­ gagees throughout the country.

    2016 Annual Report Office of Labor-Management Standards U.S

    2016 Annual Report Office of Labor-Management Standards U.S. Department of Labor U.S. Department of Labor AndrewAndrew DD.. AAuerbach,uerbach, Deputy Director Introduction When the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (LMRDA) was enacted in 1959, Congress declared, “it is essential that labor organizations, employers and their officials adhere to the highest standards of responsibility and ethical conduct in administering the affairs of their organizations, particularly as they affect labor-management relations.” The LMRDA primarily promotes union democracy and financial integrity in private sector labor unions through standards for union officer elections and union trusteeships and safeguards for union assets. Additionally, the LMRDA promotes transparency through reporting and disclosure requirements for labor unions and their officials, employers, labor relations consultants, and surety companies. The Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) continues today to pursue this important mission through criminal and civil enforcement of the LMRDA. The major provisions of the LMRDA, by title, are: • Title I: Bill of Rights for union members • Title II: Requirements for reporting and disclosure by labor unions, union officers and employees, employers, labor relations consultants and surety companies • Title III: Rules for establishing and maintaining trusteeships • Title IV: Standards for conducting fair elections of union officers • Title V: Safeguards for protecting union funds and assets OLMS also administers provisions of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 (CSRA) and the Foreign Service Act of 1980 (FSA), which extend comparable protections to federal labor unions. In addition, OLMS’ Division of Statutory Programs administers the Department’s responsibilities under the Federal Transit Act by ensuring that fair and equitable arrangements protecting mass transit employees are in place before the release of federal transit grant funds.

Drawing on archival research, this article explores the United Auto Workers (UAW)'s labor environmentalism in the late 1960s and 1970s, when the union promoted a broad environmental agenda. Eventually the union went as far as incorporating environmental concerns in collective bargaining and calling for an end to the internal combustion engine. These actions are particularly noteworthy because they challenged the union’s economic foundation: the automobile industry. However, as a closer examination of the record shows, there was a significant disjuncture between the union’s international leadership, which pushed a broad vision of labor environmentalism, and its rank-and-file membership, which proved resistant to the issue. By the close of the 1970s, the conjunction of economic pressures and declining power in relation to management led the union to retreat from its environmental actions.
