Who Owns the Land? a a A hal of MINNIP RECORDING a THE · ELECTIRICAIJ EtA VOL. XXXV WASHINGTON, D. C., SEPTEMBER, 1936 NO. 9 WHO OWNS THE LAND? A A A Planned Protection A sure sign of the revival of business and the return of employment is seen in the interest shown by the local unions in group life insur- ance protection. Some locals--"sold" on the idea and covered by a policy for some time-were obliged to drop their policy when times were bad and jobs were scarce, and are now making inquiries as to renewals. Other locals never enjoyed the protection of a group life insurance policy-perhaps because some one individual blocked the plan--but are now looking into it seriously. There are many arguments in favor of a co-operative arrangement such as this. It substitutes for the old "pass-the-hat" method of meet- ing the death of a brother, a new up-to-date benefit arranged and paid for by the members while they live. In other words it is "planned protection"-protection for those left behind to mourn the member's death, planned for by the member himself to meet the situation when- ever it should arise. Co-operation of all the members makes a group life insurance policy possible-something which no member can do for himself alone, but which he and the others can combine to do for all. The cost is another important feature, because an average premium is charged. Occasionally a very young nmember finds it is not much cheaper for him than individual insurance, and therefore he blocks the plan for all the others. We would like to remind him what the older members have done in days gone by to pave the way for his enjoyment of improved wages, hours, and working conditions. Surely he should co-operate if at all possible in "planned protection," thus increasing his own estate at comparatively small cost. Many Locals are considering this "Planned Protection" now. Why not put it across in your Local for the benefit of all? Union Cooperative Insurance Association (A legal reserve life insurance company) 1200 Fiftenth Stret, N. W. Washington, D. C.

A Labor Merchandising Concern “Labor organization is a business; like any other business, it is run primarily to produce a living for those who make it their vocation.” —Wall Street Journal, March 9, 1939. To start a business, the first thing you must have is capital. If it is a factory, you need capital for machinery, plant space and raw material. If it is a mine, you need capital for mining equipment. If it is a store, you need capital for merchandise and rent. And, if it is any of these, or any other kind of business you can name—except one—you must have capital to lay out for labor as well as for other things. The lone exception is a “union” business. A labor leader can go into the “union”—labor-merchandising—business with very little. He gets his stock-in- trade—workingmen and workingwomen, the human embodiment of labor power—free, gratis and for nothing. If things go right, and enough employers are lined up and contracts signed, thereby giving the labor leader control of jobs, the money rolls in.

  • ILO Company-Union Dialogue: an Operational Tool of the Tripartite Declaration of Principles Concerning Multinational Enterprises and Social Policy (MNE Declaration)
    ILO Company-Union Dialogue: An operational tool of the Tripartite Declaration of Principles concerning Multinational Enterprises and Social Policy (MNE Declaration) Questions and Answers Multinational Enterprises and Enterprise Engagement Unit May 2021 ILO/MULTI/May 2021 The ILO company-union dialogue is intended to support “dialogues involving multinational enterprises and the representatives of the workers affected, in particular trade unions, on the application of the principles of the Tripartite Declaration of Principles concerning Multinational Enterprises and Social Policy (MNE Declaration).” The provisions establishing this facility stress that “dialogue lies at the heart of the MNE Declaration” and that the “ILO, as the global authority on international labour standards, is uniquely placed to support or facilitate such dialogues as part of its overall strategy to promote the uptake of the principles of the MNE Declaration by the various parties.” Therefore, “where a company and a union voluntarily agree to take advantage of using the facilities of the International Labour Office to meet and talk, without prejudice, the Office will provide a neutral ground for discussion of issues of mutual concern.”1 This Q&A document provides information on various aspects of the company-union dialogue and explains how the facility operates in practice. It is based on actual questions received. 1. Types of possible ILO support What kinds of support can the ILO provide through the company-union dialogue? o The ILO can provide one or more of the following types of support: a). provide a neutral ground for parties to engage in meaningful dialogue; b). provide input during company–union dialogue as a technical or expert adviser to inform the company–union dialogue; c).

  • A Brief Introduction to the Saga of the Labor Movement for Emerging Militants
    A Brief Introduction to the Saga of the Labor Movement for Emerging Militants This piece is the text of a talk given to the Democratic Socialists of America Lower Manhattan Branch’s Political Education Working Group on December 4, 2019, serving as introduction to “Bernie and Labor” part of its series “Why Bernie?” The picture on the right represents the Haymarket Riot, Chicago, May 4, 1886, when police attacked a labor demonstration demanding the eight-hour day and protesting the May 1 disruption of an earlier protest march. The massacre was one of many attacks by police against labor initiatives. I have ten minutes to present the briefest of introductions on some few salient points pertaining to a history of workers’ struggles in the U.S. Good luck to that! Offering a systemic view of the nearly 200 years of domestic labor struggles, triumphs, tragedies and legacies in just one sixth of an hour is akin to tackling the briefest histories of the Roman Conquests, resurrection in the fractured Holy Roman Empire and its homicidal if not its farcical reiteration in the Nazi Thousand Year Reich that mercifully lasted just 12 years. But like a centurion, I shall soldier on. What follows are some basic if necessarily sketchy assumptions. First, we need to understand that most if not all of labor’s key breakthroughs, including the huge industrial union upsurges that followed immediately after World War I and then repeated so magnificently in the 1930s, were not primarily the product of either progressive politicians such as FDR and his brain trust or even talented, foresighted labor leaders like John L.

  • Labor Law. Freedom of Speech. Employer's Statement of Open
    THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO LAW REVIEW Labor Law-Freedom of Speech-Employer's Statement of Open-Shop Policy or Issuance of Anti-union Literature as Unfair Labor Practice-[Federal].-The decisions of two circuit courts of appeals have raised several questions with respect to the National Labor Relations Act:x (i)Does the act prohibit non-coercive statements of opinion by an employer intended to influence his employees in respect to unioniza- tion activities? (2) Under what circumstances will a statement which on its face is non- coercive be regarded as coercive? (3)Does prohibition of such statements violate the employer's right to freedom of speech? In one case an employer, almost immediately after a unionization drive was begun, enclosed in each pay envelope a statement of open-shop policy. Shortly thereafter, plant operations were decreased, employees active in the organizational movement were discharged, and a company union was fostered. The National Labor Relations Board found that under the surrounding circumstances, the declaration of policy, "de- signed to discourage organizational efforts," was an unfair labor practice under Section 8(i)2 of the National Labor Relations Act.3 On petition by the board to the Circuit Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit for a decree enforcing its cease and desist order, held, that there was substantial evidence to sustain the board's findings. Decree of en- forcement granted. NLRB v. Elkland Leather Co.4 In the other case, an employer dis- tributed to his employees literature which criticized and argued against unions. In ad- dition, employees engaged in organizational activities were discharged, and physical force was used to prevent pro-union literature from being distributed.

  • Grand Banks Dory
    Photo Essay: How to Build a Nova Scotian Grand Banks Dory By Jeff Spira Plans available at: http://SpiraInternational.com/ How to Build a Nova Scotian Grand Banks Dory By Jeff Spira In Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, throughout the 1800's the finest dories in the world were being built by two different boat builders. These craft served as fishing boats launched from the decks of schooners and fishing practically in the middle of the North Atlantic, year-round. This Nova Scotian was derived from the original Grand Banks fishing dories. You can launch these boats through the surf, keep going in weather that drives everyone else back to the beach, and load more into this boat than boats substantially larger. A better rough water pulling boat cannot be found anywhere. The boat shown in these photos was built by Kevin Power in 2017. Like all of the Spira International Ply on Frame boats, the frames are built first. The plans give you precise dimensions to build the frames The strongback is built next. It serves as a kind of jig to ensure the boat is straight and proportioned correctly. The plans detail this member as well. The stands may be built from any extra or scrap lumber you may have access to. The strongback also holds the elements up so that you can work on it at a comfortable height. The centers of the frames are cut with a notch for the keelson to be attached. Note that the frame cutouts are wider than the keelson. This leaves gaps on either side of the frames that become limber holes, that let water collect to the lowest point of the boat and make draining (with drain plugs) easier when the boat is out of the water or pumping the bilge when the boat is in the water.

    Union Strategy to Revitalize Weakening Worker Representation in South Korea 83 Union Strategy to Revitalize Weakening Worker Representation in South Korea* Hyung-Tag Kim**, Young-Myon Lee*** The rapid growth of South Korea's labor unions after 1987 Great Labor Offensive has been considered as one of the highest achievements in labor movement history. Yet now the social influence of labor unions in South Korea has been starkly reduced. For example, wage gaps between regular and non-regular workers and between workers at large and small companies have expanded, and union density as well as the application rate for collective agreements has fallen to about 10%. Rapid and dramatic changes in industrial structure and employment types coupled with regulatory limitations to collective agreement protections and application have reduced the appeal of union membership for many. And Korean unions have not seemed to adapt: although union membership is markedly industry-level, collective agreements are applied and managed within a traditional company-level IR framework. Unionism in South Korea needs urgent revitalization. The authors recommend this revitalization should proceed through institutional changes for improving workers' representation and through more also active organizing activity, but primarily it should happen through restoring a sense of solidarity among workers in the most basic sense. Key Words: labor union, employee representation, union revitalization strategy I. Past History and Current Status of Unionism in South Korea After the Great Labor Offensive during 1987 – 1989, Korea labor union movement achieved worldwide fame with its militancy. It had been considered as a successful example of creating new horizon under the situation of declining global labor union movement with such as COSATU of South Africa and CUT of Brazil.
