.Ford fought agai"ùns t union ý The 3 eR's- euce, Rs aiieusl- teRecycln OLni Our. poor environment has been crying out for attention and now we must be a part of the solution rather than a partof the problem. Take note at home, at work, or when travelling about, of what goes into the garbage and think of the'alternatives. The first 'R,' reduce, lies in our ability te be resourceful and eut off garbage at the source. It means buying only what is needed an d rejecting poor quality, disposable, and excessively packaged produets. Rent or share items that you ony use occasionally. Buy vegetables loose rather than.pre-packaged in styrofoam. Think reduce! Tink reuse! Give ail unwanted articles te opportunity shops. )Flower _pots and seedling trays are reused by most nurseries. Take coat hangers to drycleaners. Reuse shopping bags. Clean articles such as unwanted blankets, tewels, or mats are welcomed in animal clinies or pet salons. Lug-A-Mug to events where you expect te be served a beverage. Thinik. recycile! To fil your blue box effectiveiy, place rinsed food/beverage glass jars and botties (with iids removed) in the bottom of the* box. Do 'not include ceramies, mirrors, china, Pyrex, heat-resistant glass pots and pans,, window panes, ordinary drinking glasses, or car headiights, as these are ail considered contaminants te the glass recyciing process. Rinsed aluminum and steel cans (straws removed from beverage cans), tin lids, bottie caps, baking soda container teps, as well as both ends of the cardboard concentrated juice containers shouid go inte a bag, ieaving the top open. Do not include aerosol cans. Newspapers and their inserts are bundled and- set beside or on top of the blue box. Do not include giossy magazines.

The Future is Rs. ÉRUM PAGE 20 manufacturer te run a closod shop, whoro only union membors could get jobs. t gave retroactive' pay te ail workers for the four years -the contract had been nogotiatod., And it also becamo the first company te deduct union dues from pay cheques -- something the union hadn't even asked for! Stili, while the- deal came as a surprise,_ it wasn't out of character for Henry 'Ford. An unconvontional businessman, his method of dealing. with his workforce had always been unusual. It was he who, back in 1914, had corne up with the 'Five-DolIar-Day.' Ciaiming that his employees should be able te afford the cars tliey were building (and therefore create more sales), ho raised wagos te $5 per day -- double what workers at other plants were getting. Tho news drew se many-men looking te, find work at the plant that riots broko out and police had te break up the crowds with fire lioses. -Company officiais accepted bribes, or were tlireatenod. Eventuaily Ford's $5-day had te be accopted by GM and Chryslor as woil, te keop workers from leaving and trying te goet' inte Ford. Henry Ford aise started profit-sliaring in the» 1920s. In addition -te their higher wages workers alse recoivod $2.66 extra as sales of the Model-T went thorugli the roof. On the outside it lookod wonderful, but workers inside teld a different stery. Profit-sharing and higher wages were only available if Henry Ford approved of the worker! For starters, he believed in extracting a full day's work. This moant no taling, no singing, no whistling,. no loaning on machinery -afid ,no, smifin91. Special Ford, >"police" t6ured the- plants regularly hing te catch mon breaking the rules. Lunch was a ten-minute break,- and, it was the oniy one aIl day. The $5 wage was not given te everyoie. Only men received it, and only those Who. were supporting familles or relatives - single men got less. Both the higii wages and the profit-sharing also depended on one's home life. Ford employed 70 men who visited a dozen or so homes each day, making sure the eiçtra, money wasn't going te, waste. Workers had te, bathe frequentiy; keep their houses dlean; keep theiryards neat; their wiyes and children had te be dlean and well-kept. A worker had te have an approved hobby, and go te church regularly. People who drank, did not meet the list.of requirements or who filled their house with boarders (which Henry Ford believed ruined family life) did not receive their money. Ford employéd women, mostly in the offices, but he regarded them as temporary workers., A womands duty, he believed, was te marry and have children. If'a womnan continued te work past the age lie thought "manriable," she was fired. Workers liad te speak English, and it was mandatory that immigrant workers learn at one of the Ford- run 'sehools. Henry Ford made a big deai of a program he had te hire blacks and handicapped workers. But no Jews were aliowed. Henry Ford hated them so much that a book he wrote about them was latar used by the Nazis during World WarLl Despite the oppression, workers at Ford were proud and loyal te their company. 0f course once the union and Ford signed, the invasions inte private lives stopped& For Henry Ford,- bitteir teý the end For 'the workers it was the victery they had been waiting for. of his days it was the end of the dictatership ho liold over the company he had founded so many years before.
