PERINI CORPORATION’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENTSpecial Meeting of the General Executive Board

TT[THE special meeting of the General Exectitive Board

was called to order Thursday, August 16, i at
10 am. at the General Office by General President
CW. Sickles with the following members responding
to roll call: International Vice Presidents Hugh E.
Mulligan, George Rider, Malcolm Detlefs, Andrew T.
Haas, Michael H, Nicols, Brooks Baker and J. Wayne
Kelly; International Assistants A. L. Hullingherst and
Wiliam Howell ; International Organizer John W. Hoff
and General Secretary-Treasurer Albert E. Hutchinson,

‘The Board considered problems currently of interest
‘© our craft locally, regionally and internationally and
the various items were taken under consideration and
policies determined in connection with same for the
guidance of cur International Officers in assisting our
focal union sepresentatives in processing their day to
day problems as they arise.

The first issue on the agenda was the organizational
program of our craft work in the southeast and Particu-
larly the Carolina's with regard to the nen-Union activi-
Hes of the Daniels Construction Company which, of
course, affects not only the Asbestos Worker but all
building trades crafts. International Assistant AL
Hallinghorst made a detailed report on his activities in
connection with the problem as per assignment by Presi-
dent Sickies. The Board after due consideration in-
structed President Sickles to continue this effort toward
the unionizing of our craft work in the area referred
to and te take whatever steps would be found necessary,
including membership issuance io the qualified non
Union Asbestos Workers ia the area in which they
reside.

he question of cerain of our employers violating
their egreement with the local unions by aot abiding by
that portion of their agreement which provides for the
Preparation, as well as, distribution and application, at
the job site was discussed and the Officers were in-
structed to call this to the attention of all of the affili-
ated Jocal unions and to advise that the General Office
is currently in a position to supply International Union
Labels for use on any of our craft work performed
away from the job site by our membership for the pur-
pose of identification,

The Board members were acquainted with several
instances where employers, signatory to the local union
Joint Trade Agreement, have been found to sublet por-
tions of the insulation work included in their contract
to others with the result that the labor in connection

therewith was not performed by employees represente

by our local unions which, of conrse, constituted a vio
lation Gf the Agreement 7 hrough mis-2ssignment of th
work and ali local unions are instructed to take neces:
sary and appropriate action to deal with any repetition
of the practice.

The Board gave due consideration to the listing of
wages and fringes currently appearing in all Journal]
Publications and in view of the complicated listings due
to the various forms and types of fringes, further com-
plicated by the two or three year agreements with
changes every year or in some instances every six
moaths, it was agreed that in future Journal issues, only
the total cost item per hour, which would not inchide
transportation and board allowance, would be listed,

The Board considered severst hardship cases in vari-
ous local unions where due to Gnemployment, the mem-
Vership, including officers, found it necessary to accept
employment outside the territory of their home local on
a temporary basis and the question of the officers retain-
ing their position and/or eligibility for nomination at
subsequent elections was involved. After due considera-
tion it was voted that members of a local, including the
officers who, under the above circumstances accept temm-
porary employment due to lack of work ia their home
tetritory, will not be forced to ri gu their office or lose
bility to be a candidate in subsequent elections,
with the maximum of three months
as the period of time upon which
pensation would prev .

The quéstion’ of restoration of local autonomy to Lo-
cal No, 93, Philadelphiz, Pa, Navy Yard was discussed
and on recommendation of Vice President Andrew
Haas, as a result of the assurance from the members
of Local No. 93 that they would conduct the affairs of
the local in accordance with the International Consti-
tution and By-Laws if their autonomy was restored, the
Board voted to restore the autonomy to Local No, 93
and Vice President Haas was instructed to Proceed with
the details in connection therewith.

With no further business before the Board, adjoum-
ment was declared at 4 pm. on Friday, August 11,
1961.

President C. W. Sickles, together with Secretary Elmer Walker

and President A. J, Hayes of the International Association of Ma-

CLO. Department of Social Seeusity, during recent 196] AFL-CIO
General Board Meeting in New York City.

“Congress Asked to Protect

People Against Useless Drugs

The Administration has urged
Congress to give the American
people the same protection against
useless drugs that “we have been
giving hogs, sheep and cattl

Health, Education & Welfare
Sec. Abreb Ribicoff told the
Senate Anti-trust subcommittee that
under present law ‘worthless drugs
mey remain on the market for
months or years until the govern
ment cen get evidence to sustain a
court action against ther.”

Ribicoff strongly endorsed a Lill
by Subcommittee Chairman Estes
Kefauver (D-Tenn.) which would
require drug manufacturers to pro-
duce evidence that new drugs live
up to their claims before they can
be approved for general use. He
said the Food & Drug Administra-

ton now can keep a drug off the
market only if it is actually harmful.
Since 1913, he said, the Govern-
hes prohibited the marketing _
fications for use

oa domestic animals. Thus, he de-
cared, “we must say to the Aumeri-
@n people: a hog is protected
against worthless drugs, but you ave

‘Another provision of the bill,
ed at encouraging competition
is ring identical drugs to be
marketed under a single common
or generic name, was strongly en:
dorsed by the head of the Justice
Dept’s anti-trust division, Assistant
Atty. Gen. Lee Loevinger.
Loevinger said the “proprietary
names” which drug manufacturers
use “serve more to confose the
physician than to assist him.”

DECISION

Appeal oi Walter H. Johansen, Reg. No. 7493, Local No, 6, Boston,
Mass. against trial action and penalty. Referred to~ President
Sickles for investigation and decision. (Business Agent Halvor
Arntzen appeared before the Boaré in connection with thiz case.)
President Sickles assigned Organizer Jokn W. Hoff to hold a

hearing with both the defendant and th

is sustained. Penalty dismissed.

other operating personnel;

“39.0% by bank cashiers;

“12.7% by bank manogers;

“3.6% by hank presidents;

“6.0% by bank vice presidents.”

The arithmetic says that in the
sear ending June 30, 1960, nearly

e-thitd of the 1,771 banks suffer~
ing internal irauds were victimized
py their own cashiers, 531 of them,
and the cashier of a smaller bank is
the trusted chief who runs the in-
stitution.

‘The arithmetic says that during
this period approximately 152 bank
presidents embezzicd or stole from

their own banks.

Mr. Miller told the Arkansas and

Ohio bankers that it is “not my pur-
_pose ta frighten you.

” He also told.

Ohio bankers that if the “averages”
stood up, “aboat 75 Ohio banks (29
Arkansas banks} wil) report viola-
tions to the FBI this vear.”

“Tt is not beyond the reakn of
reality,” said Mr. Miler in his ad-
dress, “to say that while some of
you are sitting here listening to me
an embezzlement can be taking
place in your benk back home.”

We think the public should know
that an obscure clause in the Lan-

dram-Griffin Act imposed very
costly bonding expenses upon anions
that are unjustified by experience.

The AFL-CIO believes that there
js no justification for the continued
imposition of exceptionally strict
and expensive bonding requirements
for trade union officers and em
ptoyees—bonding prices that must
Se paid, inevkably from the union
assets that could be uzed to promote
the well-being of the union members.
~The AFL-CIO believes it is en-

titled, on its record, to the ordinary
cammercial blanket bond acceptable
under the law and under common
practice for trusiees and employees
with a Sduciary responsibility in all
other fimancial institutions.

Hf unions were allowed to develop
in cooperation with the surety com-
panies a schedule of rates for
commercial blanket fidelity bonds—
exactly the same kind of fidelity
bonds now written for banks and
other financial institutions—they
could obtain greater coverage for a
lesser rate, und the assets of the
trade union movement would be
conserved as they should be for the
penefit of the members.

The normal commercial blanket
ond is all that is needed for the
protection of union monies—and we
look forward te the day when the
fine record of our officers in han-
dling, investing and recording union
finances is recognized in law.

question arose regarding the advit i=
ability of dispensing with the next
regular scheduled meeting of the
Southwest States Conference to be
held in March, 1962 and that the
Fall, 1962, scheduled conference
meeting be held in Adantic City the
weekend preceding the 20th Con-
vention of our International. Presi-
dent Baker appointed a committee
to meet during the noon recess and
report back to the afternoon session
with a recommendation,

General President C, W. Sickles
addressed the delegates on various
trade problems. He cited several
instances whereby our Insulation
Contractors were misassigning in-
salation work to other crafts or
even failing to bid on our craft
work on many projects.

He cautioned all locals concerning
having their newly negotiated agree
ments check for legality by our
Genera] Office before the final sign-
ing and acceptance, President
Sickles informed the delegates that
there would be no work stoppage on
missile bases or sifes due to the
expiration of agreements. These
jobs would continue on a retroac-

tive basis until an agreetnent was
reached.

The Audit and Finance Commit-
tee reported examining the Confer-
ence books and finding everything
in order. The committee also rece
oramended that each local sending
delegates to the meeting be taxed
$20.00, This fee will be used to help
the host local defray some of the
expenses connected with the mect-
ing. This recommendation was laid
over for the afternoon session,

Meeting recessed for lunch,

The Conference reconvened and
delegates were advised to direct any
questions to President Sickles for
clarification.

One delegate asked if “stress
welding” could be claimed by our
craft since some jobs have quite a
bit of this type of work. President
Sickles stated that insulation applied
for this type of work is of a tem-
porary nature and that we do not
claim same.

On the question concerning which
craft has jurisdiction over removing
insulation from vessels and piping,
President Sickles advised that we
do not chim the removal of insule-
tion which is to be destroyed; but
where the insulation is being sal-
vaged for reuse, then cur member-
ship should do the removal of same.

On the question of members los-
ing office because of traveling,
Presiden des stated that where
a local wi has an unemployment
problem, an officer could secure a
traveling card and not lose his office
up to a three month period, This
same rule would apply to a candi-
date rurning for office and any
meetings missed while on Traveler

would not be charged against any *

candidate during the three month
period.

One of the delegates asked Presi-
dent Sickles for a ruling on juris
diction where sections of pipe cov-
ering with 2 plastic jacket were
being used as a conveyor of air in-
stead of metal ducts. ‘The pipe cov-
ering is joined at each section with
a metal sleeve and hangar. He
states we would not claim this work
since the prime function of this,
material constituted a duct to’ con-
vey the air conditioning through the
building.

President Sickles concluded by
reminding all delegates to honor the
1957 ‘Agreement with the Sheet
Metal Workers and to imsist that
our membership carry out this
Agreement. He also clarified the

THE ASBESTOS WORKERdiction regarding our claim oa
Gilgulate, Vermicutite, Perlite, and
similar materials for use in connec-
tion with underground installations.

‘The committee appointed during

ye morning session tegarding dis-
pensing with the Spring, 1962 con-
ference meeting and holding the
Fall, 1962, meeting in Atlantic City
the weekend preceding the 20th
Taternational Convention reported
hack to the Conference and unani-
mously tecommended the above
action and the Conference adopted
this recommendation. This action
was based on the financial expedi-
ent and in an effort to be helpful
to the affiliated local unions in send-
ing delegates, one or more, to the
Conference meeting in Atlantic
Gity, due to the financial strecture
of this conference which does pay
the round trip plane fare for one
delegate from each affiliated locai
union to all conference meetings.

Conference President Baker de-
livered an interesting talk on the
Conference: Pension Plan: advising
that he expects a favorable Govern-
ment ruling by the beginning of the
new Year. He further stated that
all Jocal union delegates of the
Southwest States, attending the In-
ternational Convention in Atlantic
City, would be invited to atiend the
Southwest States Conference meet-
ing prior io the Convention.
