The Countdown Begins

I n one yeflf's l i n~c. we. \\I,i ll al,l lear~ somet~i ng importanl about the IUllIre di rection 01 the United State.<:;.

\Vill we cOnlinue on a course of rcvc r:s ing progr..:s~ mnde over the past 60 years'.' Or will we hcgin the process of finding constructive sol utions to uur natiunal problems for the benefit of all our people'! Will the tide ofinju;· tice ri~ing in the niled States spread t('I Canada IOO'!

In twelve months. the people of the United Stal.:!'> \\ ill go 10 the polls to ciCCi a Presiden!. '3 "'mHors.435 members of thL' House of Repres~ntalives. and a slew of slale and local officials. Dc pile the cynicism and apath) that currcmly abound in this nation. the t996 elections will matter-very much.

The disparity between the rich and the re t of U~ in the United Stales is the largt.:st among industrialized nations, and gro\ving larger. Pro Li uctivity I!:. up in industry after industry. \Vages arc stagnant wh ich hilS driven real earning po\ .... er to its lowest ehb in !\1./0 decades.

In this atmosphere. the maj(JI; ty party in Congress is doing ilS level best to keep those trends alive. Th..: consensus for a government that has played a role in making our societ) mOrC fair. more prosperau . and morc humane has frayed tu the nreaking point. This Congress has gOlle far beyond fiscaJ responsibility. Thi Congress ha. hacked into programs thai ha\'..: provided dignil) for senior cilizcns ... g.ivcn t:dllcational opportunity to those who had nonc ... and made ,>ocielY healthier and more productive than ever.

This Congress has put every major ga in In

labor legislation over t he past 50 years on the CUrling

b lock. invit ing any and all corporate interests 10 Lake a whack. If Newt Gingrich and his c::ohort~ have their way. safelY and he~ lth prott:ctiuns will be guued; cumpany unions will be legal: the . LRB will be essentially out of business: and righl-to-work will become.: a nalionallaw.

The 199-' eleclions were. to quote Ahraham Lincoln .. On fire bell in the nighl.·· \Ve need LO put oul the rJ(Jmes thill would destroy the gains made by working people.

\Vc n l'~d to rebuild a society where lhe d ignity of labor has meaning once ~Iga i n.

\Ve have [he tool.;; at our disposal to do Ihi li. ·We hav~ bui ll one of lhe stronges t polit ical action

other. To turn around the.:: political mess we find our~c1\'cs

in. we need on ly the will to use OUf strength to Lhe fullest. Perhaps -1-0 )ears of Democralic conlrol on C:lpilOl Hill made us feel thai we could prolect our mt:lllb~rs through our lobbying and politica l action etforts <llnne. ' 0 more. Onl) when every mL:mber of Congress-and there are I B E\ people in every con

gressiona l distric:: t~hcars our message on th e home fronl. will we he able to reverse our country's s lide into the poli tics of division.

Wr;; JllU~t tell the Republica ns that the bold of corporate lobhyists on the: A merican a entia is a betrayal of the finest principles of our na t ion- princip les for which many uf them clai m to st<lnd. \Ve must let our Democra tir fri end", knO\\. tha t the cause of economic justice and opportuni ty-nm the marginal social concerns of

the while wine liberal - f rms the real soul of the pany.

That· why we nee.::d to rekindle the name of activism within the.:: heart of every IBEW member. We cannot a fford to slide into the Clbyss of cynicism o r despair. This is our lanu. This is o ur fight. This is why we band toget he r as uni on Sisters and Bro th-ers. This is why \\Ie mList work wi th all our migh t fo r p os it ive change in Nort h America.

This Thanksgiving. I will be glving. lhanks that W~ have our grc3l union. the .IBE\V. a our voice at the barga ining table. in the legislature. and to the public. I will be

thankful that '\l.! ha\·e the abil-ity 10 turn the tide in favor of

I GLOSSARY Whcdd_ h ... _n'l'

Fission: In nuclear technology, ~ssion i, the splitting of on atomic nucleu, cau,· ing the releo,e of large amount' of energy.

Fissile: A ~"ile material is capable of being ,plit or divided.

Irradiation: Irradiation occurs when a moterial is treated by expo,ure to radio· tion.

Isotope: An isotope i, a ny two or more types of atoms of a chemical element having the some atomic number and pa,ition in the periodic table. They have nearly the some chemical behavior but a different atomic mass or moss number

and different physical properties.

Moss: Moss refers to a quantity 01 mot· ter. It i, the property of a body that i, a measure of its inertia , commonly taken as a mea,une of the amount of material it contains and causes it to hove weight

in a gravitotianol ~eld.

Nucleu.: A nucleu, is the posit ively charged centrol partion of on atom. " includes nearly a ll of the atomic moss and consi,ts of protons a nd neutrons lexcept in hydrogen, which consists of one proton only )

Neutron: A neutron is an uncharged particle that ha, a moss nearly equal to that of the proton . " i, present in all known atomic nuclei except the hydra· gen nucleu,.

Moderetor: A modera tor is a substance used for "owing down neutrons in a nuclear reactor.

Radioi,otope. : A radioi,otope is a radioactive isotope.

Radiative capture: Rad iative capture occurs where thermal neutron, are cap· tured by the nudei of other elements and used 0' reactor material,. This pro· duce, heavier isotopes of the some ele· ments and causes the emiss ion of gamma radiation. It reduces the number of neutrons avai lable for perpetuating the ~ssion process.

Reactor. A reactor is a device that control, the release of nuclear energy. •

Interes tingly enough. th;, author. Stcven Rattner. eve n notes the e ffects or income inequality on unions. He says. righlly. that the decli ne in un i n power has hurt the ab il ity ur workers to earn more. BUI he also S1I}S that the

opposite is true as wcll. We can attes t to thaI. A:-. workers

have become less secure in their jobs. and compete for a shrinking t.!co~ nomic pie. the ir fear f unionization increases. This is especially true given the free rein that compan ies hnvc had to fight unions wi th every lega l and illcgal lri ck a t the ir disposal.

crime. These thing' arrect all of our families.

I be lieve there is only one proper response to this growing problem .... righteous anger Ihal should in pire us to greater action.

Agai nst the backdrop of the present day, we must be smHrter, more erc· ative, and tougher than ever. 0 one ever said the fight for social and economic justice \Va ca y.

Any of you who have been through COMET or MEMO trai ning-and I hope that includes aU of you-know tha t we can not hope to control the market in any of our ind ustrie as I ng as there is a large t1l10rganized egment out were.

The IBEW's response to today's challenges can be summed up in three words: orgunizing, trajning, and iuno· ,'olion. None of these are new. Organizing has been taking place since our founding in I 91. Training has been the key to work in g with e lectricity from Ihe very first. Innovation ha been a hallmark of th e IBEW for more Ihan " cenlury.

The key to success i taking these traditional ac ti o ns and applying them in a modern way. In the fine t mEW tradition, we must live up to our core principles in a manner tha t \Vill :, tauJ UUI 1 1I t!IIIUt:I ~ wt: 1I iJll u lilt: 21st cen tury.

Of these card inal virtues of the LBEW, the greatest is ergan iling_ r can tell that some of you arc thinking: "There he goes again." Well. ye . I will repeat it every chance I get.

Organi7ing is Ihe well pring from which all trade- union power nows. There is no refuting the pu re I gic of organizing as the key to our future.

The fact is that thc loss of job security in so many industries in this country, including those we represent , has

t 4

created the climate of fear and unre:-,t Ihal exi'ts today. Workers are lashing o ut at whoever they can-including incumben t polit icians nnd even their own unions.

This unrest is being carried over in the new workplaces that are pringing up to take up the slack left b corpora te downsi7ing. The fact i Ihat many of the workers Ict go by the big companies don't go r ight on the unemployment rolls. I f that \ ere the case, there would be a major depre ion going on . o. many of them go to work for smaller (inns as contractors where they often wind up doing the same jab. sometimes even at the same company. for Ie pay. fewer, if any, benefits, and a conspicuous absence of the union label.

This has happened in telecommunica tions. It is happening in manufacturing. It is beginning 10 happe n in utililies. The que ti n we face is: Are we going to all w n nonunion culture to take root among such workers?

It becomes a mailer of our survival n t to let this happen. The ex istence or a large conlr<tcto r work force in major tndu tries wi ll undercut the attempts f the IBE W and every ot her un ion to negouate decent wag and benefits. Unle s we organil e them, it ""'ill mean that labor's perce ntage of the private sector work force. already at a dangerously low II percent. will hrin k even furtll er. That would fur

Ihe r erode our abili ty to be a force for the g ad of ur member .

H we do organilc these workers, however. interesting th ings stan to happen. We go to Ihe bargain ing table

speaking for more workers throughout a given industry. We go to elected officials conveying the concerns of mOl e voters. As I am fond of saying, politicians come in varyi ng degrees of intelligence. but they can all COunt.

Let '~ look at another reason ( 0

organize. Allow me to read you another quote and tell me who said it:

" You bave to organize, organize, organize, and build and build, and train and trai n, so thai Ihere is a permanent, vibrant stTucture of which people can be pan ."

Who aid that ? Samuel Gomper.;? Henry Mille r? John L. Lewis? Try Ralph Reed, director of the Christian Coahtion. one of the moving forces in American politics today.

This quole peaks volumes. The labor movement was once the rallying poinl for workers on all importa nt i~sues from the national to the communi ty level. The banner of activism symbolized that unions were a force for good in people's lives. Are we any less commit ted today? Has thal banDer been taken up by conservative activist grou ps'! T the extenl Ihe answer is yes, it goes a long way toward explaining our present difficulties.

Glossy papers used in magazines Clnd cata logs me coated \\Iilh clays that ciln clog, the hydropu\ per. Plasti cbased inks used in magazines are not e ffec t ive ly re moved fro m the pulp wi lh the de- ink ing uctcrgenls used in til e above rccyc li ng process . Some recycl ing mi ll s are using a de-ink ing tech nology called 1I0t.tion. In th is system, <lir hubbi es are forced upward from the bot tom of the hydropulper 10 agita te the pa per "lnd water mixture. The clay that is loosened fro m the glos y paper is picked up and carried along with the risi ng bubbles as the clay starts to ink t the bonom. The cia) acts as a hlotter. absorbing the ink. TIli substance is then skimmed from the surface or the va t. and the

papcr-m~lking proces is completed . The amount of paper being recycled

in lhe nitcd States is increasing. but paper can be recycled only a li mi ted number of time . Each time paper is recycled i l ~ fibe rs weaken, which is why wood pul p i sometime added lO the recycled pulp. Most paper can be recycled up to seven or eight times.

Some of Ihe ilems that are made from recycled paper incl ude newsprinl, cereal and shoe hoxes, fac ial and toi let tissue, bui lding insulation, wallboard , ca rdboard egg carto ns. brown bags. and lives tock bedding.

StandUP for America's Working Families

reams They're cutting worker health and safety protectionswhen more than 6,000 Americans still die on the job every year - health and safety protections that have already saved more than 140,000 lives.
