EDITORIAL COMMENT

Labor's Endorsement Of Mondale Was The RightThing To Do!

For the past seve ral months our Journal has carried editorials and fcatmed tlnidt:s which have fa ­vored the acti on of the AFl·CIO and its affihalcs, incl uding the lBEW, of endorsing Walter F. Mon­dale for President of the United States.

We a rc now more than eve r 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 ou r 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 ou r Brotherhood, and every man and woman in our country of voti ng age or over, has the right and privil ege of voti ng for the candida te who in th e 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 fortun ­ate 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 advi se them on all matters affecting their welfare as we look after their hest interes ts and that of our Brotherhood. This includes keeping ou r members in­formed and knowledgeable on po­litical and legislative matters that affect the ir statuS in life as union members.

Political :1ction, whether we like it or not, has become an in tegral 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 o rganized 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 predominan tl y working in the best interests of corpora te busi­ness and the wealthy class of ou r nation.

Since taking office President Reagan and his admi nistration 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 admi nis· tration. By regulatory powers they have decimated the pro tection af­fUlded workers under OSHA, Davis-Bacon, minimum-wagc-and­hour laws, and have stacked the NLRB with people who have made successful ca ree rs working for u l­tra-conservative, anti-union orga­nizations. Even the U.S. Supreme Court, ev identl y caught up in the fever to bust unions, handed down a horrendous decision which al ­lows employers to escape thei r 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 th e trade union move­ment- rid the White House and the Congress of the enemies of organized labor. One great step in the right di rection is to keep work­mg for the election of Walter F. Monda le in November.

28th Annual Telephone Conference Held In Seattle, Washington

The 28 th 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 sta ff .

The dcicgrllcs were welcomed to Sea ttl e 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 admllllStra­Hon, 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 of the International Exeeut!\'c Coun' cil Wes Taylor and thc lEe r1l1,:mbers from the respective Dlstncts, all of whom attended thc vanous sessions and tOok anllctive role In th e success of the Confe rence.

come was extended to our Ca nadwn Brothers and Sisters o f the First Vice Preside ntial District who conducted their All -Ca nada Telephone Confer· ence In conjunction with th e inter· nati onal Telephone Conference.

Director Perry then gave the An· nual Report of th e 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 th e Untted States and Canada, Ill­

eluding 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· Islation, 1983 was the year that "de· regulatlon" was to take full effect III the U.S. with a Strong movement to the same end takmg place III Canada as well.

Brother Perry, In closing his re-• marks, thanked all the delegates for

The remainder of the first day of -=. the Conference was devoted to a

Althnu~h the session was made more elltoyable WIth some nuxlIlg of humor, It never­theless brought home a message that has become all too fanlllwT at many of the bargalOlIlg tables recently­"give-backs." A genera l 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 of the workshops. Each delegate was given a binder entitl ed Faclllg rhe Problem of lIea/lh Care Co.~ls-A CriSIS in Collec tive Bargalllll1g that was developed by the IBEW Research Department. [n additIOn to the ex­cellent material contamcd m the blllder, the workshop minutes have been transcnbed and dlstnbuted to all the Telephone local Uluons. ThiS segment of the Conference, whIch

was well received, set the tone illl(l centra l theme of the 28th Anmlill 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 Di rectory 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, the last day of t.he Conference, work­shop reports were presented to the del ­egatcs, as well as an update of the past yea r'sactivilies with theTdephoneCo· ordinating Counci ls and a repon from the AJ I-Canada Te lephone Conference.

ludging from the enthusiasm dunng the sessions and the numerous re­sponses since, the 28th Annual Inter­nationaJ Telephone Conference was a huge success.

ESTABLISHING A PUBLIC RELATIONS PROGRAM

As tI /a/Jaw-up /0 an earlJer article, "Resolved: To Advertise Organized La­bat" (January, 1983, IBEW Journal), the Research and Education Department has prepared the following tlrticle on helpful tipS on settmg up a public relations program.

Pub lic ReI:llions

Bnefly. publLc relations can be dc­scnbed as the art of promoting goodwill . In other words, It IS lhe molding of public: opinIOn to c reate a favorable ImprC:SS lon Most of all, for us III the labor movement, public relations IS caring-canng about what the publi c thinks, canng enough to prOlcct, at a[1 times, the nght image about organized workers on the job, at home, at play, involved 1I1 commumt y and CIVIC

affairs and charLlablc works. Umons have alw<l Yl> devoted SUbS[.lOtlaJ tlmc and money to many eomm unu y, elvie, and chan t;lble causcs-a natural outgrowth of labor's broad commitment to improv' IIlg social and human wclfue- and 10 the education and training of thelT memo bers. We can let the pubhc know how much we ca re by estabhshlllg a pubhc relatlons program.

Once your loca l unJon has decided to se t up such :t program, conSider the foll owing StCps: (I) Appoint a chairper· son, who will be responsible fo r the planning. coordina tion, and e)Cecution of the program. (2) DeSignate a spokesper· son, an informed local umon member With authOrity to speak, who will rep· resent the local union in meetlng~ with media representatives. (31 Appoin t a pub· he rdallons committee, composed of local union members who wtll check on • the accuracy of medIa reports on labor aC ll villes and who will proVIde Ideas on new s tones, fe :lIurc Slones, and addl­lIona l means of getting publicity. (4) SCI yom goals, l.1 kl11g into consi deration whom you WIsh to reach, by which most effecllve means, and what you expect 10 accom plish. (5) Establi sh a real istic budget-determme If you can afford paid advertising (newspapers, radiO, and tele­VISion, III particula r) and profeSSional aSSistance or whether you must take advantage only of all the free advertising you can get. (6) Prepa re a union fact sheet to leave wuh your media contacts or to mad or hand to publicllY directors who may request such lIlIormatlon. A Uluon fact sheel would normally contain your

local ulllon name, the Intern:\tIonal and you r affihallon wuh It, your local unIOn offi ce or ch.urpcrson's address and tele­phone number, the nam es of your local union officers, the name of your des i/o:­nated spokesperson, and background In­formatIOn on you r local unton. The fa ct sheet should be one page preferably, type­wntten ami JuuLlc-spaced, bncf and 10

thc point. (7) Prepare a list of newspapers and radio and teleVISIon Stations that cover your area geographically. Includc the key med ia personnel wLlh whom you will keep III lOuch and their phone num­bers. Keep the It St current and aval13blc at all times.

Fir.s t Cont'lf.:h

Before emba rkmg on any other con­tacts, be sure that your local union mem­bers arc kept IIlformed and up to dale on nallona l and local labor stones. You

should be able to reach you r memhcrs effectively th rough local ul\lon meet ings, newsletters, posters, bull elln boa rds, and direct mallLngs. Every member of the BrOtherhood, aftt.:1 all, IS a publL e rela· lions officer. In thei r dcnllllgs wllh non­members, employers, and the pubhc, our membe rs represent the !BEW. Each mcmber can do a better publtc re\.;H1ons job for the IBEW and your loc.1l union than th e highest· paid, profeSSIOnally­trained publiCity staff III the world. Em ­ployers, non-members, and the general pubhc m ust respect our o rganization for liS accompltshmcnts and liS record. Re­sults speak for themselves.

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 signa ls 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 excess ive 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

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 inerca~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 li S 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 li S 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$­ISO elRA.

WHAT CAN OUR SAFETY COM.MITTEES DO TO PR EVENT HEARING LOSS FROM EXCESSIVE NOISE!

Committees should urge special meetings with employers on cnglllecnng cont rols to reduce the noise level at the workplace. Many times Sim ple measures will accomplish great redllr.. ll on .~. 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 shou ld 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 phys lC-.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!

REFLE T Success

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

pri n t , Or make their way to fame. Some never see their greatest plans Come true like they'd expected . Some never ge l 10 Broadway O r be president elected. Although it may seem you have

failed And you think you must give in ; Hey, you've just los 1 a batt le, The war's sti ll yours to win . Many men have succeeded W hen the fu ture looked qui te

blue; They never once gave up, and

won , And you can do thai , too. So if your future looks quite bleak Just remember wha t I say : Have some courage, don ', give up and you' ll succeed some day. MM:lwllf Holm.", .II~ IS D. ush1e< of N(lfm. n Hoi,",," lou' 510, AUSlin, I n .

Anna

W hen a man 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

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

lOl li , 100. 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 mee t her again , but I

don ' t want to wail for 55 more, fo r Anna. WiII • • d Megonig.o l Membe. of l OColl J Il Wilminglon, Del.

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 l i ll ie 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.

The Class of '84

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 the end. New friend ships 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 : Congratulations to my friends In the Class of '84 .

Election Time

The campaign ta lkin ' has begun , The president'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, 'Cause if you ' re not , Brother, he

really doesn' t care. We had better w ise up, Brother,

and vole out this novice, And clect a Democra t 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

whi sper 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?
