NEBF Employees Benefit Agreement

Improved by Amendments

• International President Charles H. Pillard, on behalf of the IBEW Trustees of the Nationa l Electrical Benefit Fund, is pleased to announce that four basic im­provements have been made through amendments to the Employees Benefit Agreement of the National Electrical Bene­fit Fund _

The Amendments will become effective January 1, 1974_

Serving with President Pillard as IBEW trustees on the NEBF Board are Interna­tional Secretary Joseph 0 _ Keenan , and the International Executive Council mem­

bers from each IBEW IEC District. These International officers, since the 1970 IBEW Convention, have continually worked seek­ing ways to improve the Fund in order to

bring greater benefits to the electricians

covered under the Fund_ Our International officers, who serve as trustees in coopera­tion with the employer trustees represent­

ing the National Electrical Contractors As­sociation, are maintaining a continual close examination of the Fund , with improved

services to retirees foremost in mind.

Article III-B of the Employees Benefit Agreement was amended to provide 100 percent vested right after a participant has been employed by covered employer

for ten (10) consecutive calendar years

and, further, to provide a pension to dis­

abled participants once the individual has met the qualification of being employed by covered employer for 10 consecutive cal­enda r years . .. this pension to be a mini­

mum of $60 per month _

Two new sections were added to the Em­

ployees Benefit Agreement to establish a procedure that will protect the Fund, the participants, and local board members when incorrect information is inadvertently

given to participants by local board mem­bers_

Two other sections were added to the Employees Benefit Agreement to provide for NEBF administration of the new Dis­trict 10 Individual Equity Retirement Plan_

As a result of these amendments, which become effective January 1, 1974, several changes had to be made in Appendix A to the Employees Benefit Agreement. Appen­dix A defines normal, early, and disability benefits, vesting, computations of service

credits, and rules and regulations regard­ing past service credits.

The Employees Benefit Agreement is be­ing revised, and local unions will receive

copies of the new agreement in the near

future.

The organizations served a Sec· tion 6 notice, under date of Janu­ary 12, 1973, for improved wage and fringe benefits. On March 8, 1973, without the intervelltion of Congress or any other necessary me,lsure, a tentative agreement was reached, subject to ratification. This agrecment covered item .. which hud been proposed in an c:lr[ier Section 6 noticc, served by the organil:l­tions for improvl'mcnts in the Sep­tember 25, 1964, agrcem~n t. The Electrical Workers ratified the tcn· (alive agreemcnt by a votc margin of five to one. The forlllal agree-

rnent was signed on May [0. [973, and containcd certain provisions contingent on passage of Railroad Retircment legislation.

Included in the May 10 agree· men! was a gcneral wage increase of four percent, effective January I, 1974; a provision for the imple­menting of a cost-free union dues deduction agreement on individual roads; :lIld the eSlablishmenl of a Standing Committee for the con­sideration of the intcrprctmion and application of Article II uf the Sep· tember 25, 1964, agreement.

The contingent provision:., which

"

are now applicable as a resull of the passage of Railroad Retirement leg­islation, will provide for a reduction in the employees' Tllilroad retire­ment tax rale from 10.6% to 5.85%, which is on parity with the Social Security tax ratc, and 111-

crease the employers' share of the tax rate 10 15.35%. Other changes provide that, effective July I, 1974, employees with 30 years' service may retire at age 60 without loss of any annuity; and the temporary in­creases previously enacted were cx-

tended through December, 1974. The new legislation further provides for additional increases in line with any future Social Security benefit in­creases.

Continuing his message covering negotiations handl ed during the past yea r, Vice President Gladney re­ported tlHlt. on May 9, 1973, two other agreements were signed. The first was the Supplemental Si ckness Benefi t Agreement, effective J uly I, 1973. with the insurance coverage

"

being awarded to Provident U fc and Accident Company. The second agreement, signed on May 9, ex­tended the Travelers Insu rance coverage to December 31, 1974, included provisions increasing th e lifetime maximum major medical expense from $50.000 10 $250.000. and provided Medicare coverage fo r digiblc recipients.

In concluding hi s report to the delegates, Vice President Gladney detailed the number of cases handled by the 10th District omce. In the

period since the last Progress Meet­ing, 169 new cases were received and progressed 10 their respective board. During this same period of tim e, 67 sustaining awa rds were rendered, 47 claims were denied, 5 cases withdra wn. and 94 claims are pending. The aforementioned tOlals include cases over one year old. Special atten ti on was paid to the Public Law Board cases han­dled by the office. To date, 13 have been progressed . Of these. seven

cases were sustai ned. one was den ied. and live are pending. Vice President Gladney also advised that si nce many carriers had installed or were installing ACI equipment on the property, mediation was being resumed involving the AC I dis­putes.

In hi~ introduction of Interna­tional President Pillard. Vice Presi­dent Gladney acknowledged his sincere appreciation for the tremen­dous assistance furnished by the in­ternational Office, and the support

given by President Pillard duri ng the recent negotiations, in view of the fael that the IBEW will be con­sidered an employer under the Rail­way Labor Ael and therefore sub­ject to implementing the changes required under the Railroad Retire­ment Act.

Pr~sident Pillard, whose family background includes railroaders, was received with a standing ovation. In his address, he underscored the need for unions to continue organizing

the unorganized workers without letup. He slated thM the I HEW is "one of the few inte rnational unions whose overall membership is still incre:lsing." but )oaid th;n this fact can only be sustain ed through con­tinuous effort s by the membership. With onl y 23 perce nt of the U.S. h. bor force unioni7cd, I~re~iden t Pil ­lard cmphasized thc strength the unions would ha ve in negotia­tions and on the legislative frOfl! if onl y hulf of the 8 1 milli on Ameri­can workers were members of

union~. He ulso .. poke on the con­trols imposed by the federa l gov­ernment. contending that if controls arc necessary they should appl y :lc ross the board and not JUSt on wages.

said President Pill ard. and he urged the delegates to writ e to their con­gressmell and ask them to support the Burke-Hartke Bill.

Howard Metzenbaum. whose law firm represents many rail unions in injury and other cases. spoke briefly about the FELA. and offered to send his bulletins to any locals which desire them. Mr. Mell:enbaum shared his political \·jews with the

delegates and underlined his lack of understanding of an administra· tion thai ran on a "law-and--order" platfomt, ending up becoming in­volved in the Watergate corruption.

Oecember, 1913

• Two announcements marred Ihe opening of the [21h D istrict Progress Meet ing in Nashville, Ten­ncss.:c, on September 27 and 28.

The first announcement was that lEe member I-larry Williams had passed away earlier in the week. This great loss was sti ll fresh in eve ryone's mind when International I>residelll Charles H. Pillard an-

"

nounced that 12th District Interna­tional Vice I)rcsident W. B. " Bert" Petty had requested retirement, ef­fective October 3 1.

BrOlhe r Pelly's retirement came as a shock 10 all present . U~ hc had been the first, and only, Interna­liunal Vice Pre ... idelll in the [2t h Dist rict since its incept ion.

In his announcement, President Pillard informed the delegates that, whilc Brother I)ctty was enjoyi ng generally good health, recent sur­gery for caturaci on one eye, with fut ur~ .!J urgel') pending on the other. hlld influenced him to step down and lurn the reins over to II suc­cessor.

After de~crib i ng Vice President Pctty's di,tingui'hcd ca reer, I)resi­dent Pillard announced that Inter­national Representativc Earl W. BurnellI.' would succeed Ilrotht:r I)etty, and serve out the unexpired term. 111is appointment was mct with a standing ovation frorn the delegates, who unanimously ex­pressed con fi dence in their new leader.

In spite of the disruptive nature

,.

of the announcements, much valua­ble information was presented to the delegates by an erudite corps of guest speakers.

Leading off in the speaking de­partment was In ternational Execu­tive Council ( IEC) member I larry Bexley, who brought a disturbing message concerning a non-union employers' association famil iarly called "A HC." I his nssociation is setting up chapters allover the count ry, and has even started a gov­ernment-recognized apprentice train­ing program. Brother Bex ley warned the listeners that this was a serious problem, one nol to be ta~en lightly. In contrast 10 many doom-criers, Councilman Bexley had an answer to this threat; he simply stated that the solution is for mEW local unions to set out on a nationwide organizing program. Thi~ program must be aimed at contractors and non-union electricians who arc con~ sistenlly doing a growing propor­lion of m EW work. He said, "This nOli-union scourge is not limited to the inside branch of the trade, as

many local unions arc finding it more and more difficult to man the outside work, with the resultant up­surge of non-union contractors and mechanics. "

Followi ng Brother Bexley's ad­dres" In ternational Representative Eilrl Burnette. who served as chair­man in the absence of Vice I)resj~

dent Petty, mnde his welcoming ad­dress.

International Represenwtive R. L. Webb then reported on the st rike current ly ill progress against South­west Elect ric Power Company in Arkansas, Texas. and Loui~inna.

New business managers who had taken ollicc si nce the last progress meeting were introduced by Brother Burnette, who invited them to lld~

drcss the delegation. International President Pillard

wa<; introduced to the a55cmblage, and made the previously described announcement concerning Brother Petty. As he WIIS scheduled to make his principal address the following morning, Brother Pillard ~poke only briefly .

In trod uced in the clos ing mo­mcnts of this initial meeting were International Secretary Joseph D. Keenan and I EC member Tom l)u~Jc}.

In hi<; .. pcech on Friday morning, Intcrnational Pre:.ident I)illard brought a brond oven'iew of all dc­partmcnts ill the Brotherhood. and dc~cribed brielly the acti\ities and progress being nccompli)hed. Echo­ing Brot her Bex ley'S comments or the prcviou~ scs,ion, President Pil~

L.U. 1340, NI-:\\' I'OH.T NEWS, VA.~How long has it been sinr.:e we asked ourselves if labor is progressing? What i~ the rnain thing that makes labor a sur.:cess. These queSlions bring up two subjer.:ts thai consti· tute good labor-the qu;\!ity of men and the organizing of Ihese men into your local union.

There :Irc many non-union comrar.:lOrs in the eler.: lrical trade. If Ihe loel11 unions could get non-union men into the union. where would Ihis leave Ihe non·union con­traCtOr? Gelling IheSt rnen is easier said than dOlle. as most of them know nothing aboul unions and how the unions work. When ..... c i;e\ the men, .... ·e ..... il l. in all prob­ability. get ~ome of lhe cont r:u,·tors and. hopefully, some more lerritory to work.

The loc:II union is again going to try to organize :l safety committee. '1 he rnen on the commiuee Me Cha irman James A,ery. David Wallin~, and Ed Conner. and Tomm y BUlr.:her i~ representing Ihe maintl" n:lnC(' men. We hope to se l up some stand­ards thut ..... ill proteCI Ihe worJ..ing man a.' ..... ell as the conlraetor. UsulIlI)', when men spea k up about unsafe tools or .... orking melhods, they PUt their jobs in jeopardy. 1 am nol saying this has happened wilh our Brothers, but it could. We want sOlllelhillg whir.:h ..... ill prOlect the working men.

We also hope to $j,"t up a firsh,id course, as .... c did several )'ears ago. which was a sucee)s in our local.

How lI'ould the great majorily reaci if the few members who do 31\cnd decided to

raise the union dues? It ntlly not sound ti~e a li"c:ly possibility. bllt it cou ld happen. Many local unions throughout the Bro ther­hood are 5Ce~ing ans ..... ers to the same ques­tion.

We could offer more door prizes. higher jackpots. and expensive stea l s for pupu at e'·cry mecting. bUI is that wh:1I )'ou·re really pa)-ing dues for?

1"11 be the first to admit that slltmg through a meeting and Ii ~tening to the min­utcs is a ..... fully dull (no off~nse to ),our unit rc!;order). but r, e ne'cr heanl of an)onc dying from it.

Many limes a member will not want to allcnd a unit meeting 10 complain aboUl how bad Ihings arc in the worl group, be­cause he feel s it"s not very important.

Local 1505 Delegation Attends AFL-CIO Convention L. U. 1505, \\ ALTIIA!\I. 1\IASS __ Durint; the first v.ee); in October. a delegation of mEW oRkers and repre'>!'ntatives. headed by Pr~siden( Art Osborn and BUsirICss \ Ian­ager James " Iullone), attended (he Annual State Con\'entiou of the AH -CIO in Bos. ton. rhe delegation was greatly cheered by the impresshe ~lIppon ghen Business Man­ager \ lullorIC) by union leaders throughoul !he Slate. in his ~el")' suece~ful hid for re­election as an incumbent \ice pre~idcnt of the " Iassachusetts State Labor Council.

Much of the emphasis of this con~'ention was on the need to strengthen the influence of labor in the political process so as to im­prove the circumstances of wor~ing people, a theme on which your local union officers ha\e repealedly spolen. To illuslrate Ihis principle. it is nectssary to note that Gover­nor Francis S:lTgent was nOI elected through the suppon of organi:.:ed labor, but against its opposition.

Recent ly. the governor demonstrattd the soundness of labor's evaluation o f his phi-

losophy of government by killing the so­called " Park PIa:.::. ProjeCI."· v.hich would have meant hundreds of construction jobs, pro~'ided rich. new sources of income for the city of Boston to alleyiate the 1lU: bur. den on Boston v.orlers. and provided a continuing source of employmel1l to the area on its completion. A resolution in sup­port of those still striving to make Par); Plna a reality and reduce unemployment in the- construction industry v.as passed by the 5tate AFL-CIO with not a dissenting \'ote.

Anolher issue which v.arramed the atten­tion of union 1~:Hkrs in Massachusetts-and reech'ed it_v.-as the long. debilitating. and cruel struggle of Farah v.or~ers against the ~v.eatshop tyranny of Willie Farah. Wa}'s and means of intensihing the consumer boycott against all Farah products v.ere brought under C"onsideration. The as.sembled delegates overwhelmingl~ supported the cr­fort§ of the clothing workers to organize the F:lrah worlers so that they miSht enjoy the same benefits and humane treatment v.hieh organized v.or~ers espect and receh'e v.ithout question. A film was shov.n which captured the pllght of Farah v.or~ers being obliged to punch out to recehe medical at­tention. at the fllctory di~pensary. for inju­rie~ sutfered On the job. being pressured to return to wor); during absences for medical reasoo> with the threat of po~sib1e loss of employment. and receiving inadequate and improper treatment at the dispenS:lry. all while wor~ing under low-pa}'ing s"<eatshop conditions.

We ;Ire proud 10 say Ih;1\ n march in support of the Farah wor~ers was con­ducted throughout Bo~ton and that a strol1g contingent from our local aceomp:.nied the marcher~ led by I' resident Art 0 born. It goes v.ithollt s;I}ing that we are certain thai the members of Loc;11 1505 are as deeply symp<lthetic \0 the cause of the Farah v.or~ers as arc the officers of the local. and thai the) v.ill continue to ho)eOIl all of Willie Farah's scab products.

Christmas Eve

T he fros t is on the windowpane; T he snow 11;Is drifted high. And Chri!llllHb Eye is here again ; A bright star's in the sky. T he house is wann and cozy; The night is bitter cold; Oy Ihe fi reside, rcd and ro~y, The Christmas talc is told. How the three kings, treasure·

laden. From a far land made their way, Guided there by a shining star To where the Christ Child lay. How His mOl her, Mary, held him. Closely enfolded [0 her breast, And the shepherds gathered

around them, And each one of them was blest. How the angels' glad rejoicing Resounded from the sky At the binh of our Lord, Jesus, W ho will never, never die. We adore the Baby Jesus, A s the shepherds did of old. And the love and wamllh within

our hearts will shut out the dark and the

cold. Hear the bells peal out their

glad ness, As the Christmas carols gay Ring out upon the clear, cold ai r And we welcome Christ mas day.
