MM MM Pane HERALD Wednesday August Si 1177 PEOPLE ON THE MOVE Labor advances good more can be done Rep llrrald Half writer The activities of organized labor changed since the days of fiery union leaders in the 1920s 30 and some of whom gave their Hies for their cause Buzz of Georgetown an International representative for the United Auto Workers lUAW believes the biggest change from those days Is that organized labor has become more sophisticated In those days he told The Herald in an interview Mon day You had to use all v i had Union organizers had put a fear Into the workers that matched the fear the workers had of losing their livelihood companies which had thdr own muscle the year- old representative said Thai was a time too when companies had more control over government than they have loday Although labor has come a long way since those days Hargrove said it still has a way lo go But the sophist leal ion is paying Now for instance when the representative and the local members go to Ihe bargaining la hie they are armed with information on the companys financial situation wage rate in the area and other facts provided by the research department Hargrove said Organized labor also knows now thai It can depend on the collective bargaining process to get a fair shake and con sequent y has broadened its activities into the political arena and into social reform he said In the early days of organized labor workers ap peared at the bargaining just to ask for more money Whats happening too is that younger and more educated workers arc joining unions and their appearance at the bargaining table Is marked with a little more respect from management Hargrove said And that education Is taught at a labor supported education centre at Port Elgin Ontario one of two In Canada Hargrove said At the school there are eiaht classrooms where about persons can be trained in labor history and related subjects Hargrove said that in about half of the contracts he has helped negotiate In the last two years paid educational leave for labor education common in Europe has been won for the workers Ho noted wryly that paid education leave is now part of federal Labor Minister John Munroi 14 point labor package He said it is a problem to get trade union history Into schools and universities Children today have little awareness of what the trade union movement has done and Hargrove said he speaks to classes of children on the topic when asked by teachers He believes that as taxpayer supports the study of economics and business ad ministration and similar disciplines trade union history is also worthy of tax support In relation to organized labors contribution to society the image It has in the public eye is bad he sold Part of the problem is lack of funds to counter the massive amounts the government spends ad vertising itself Another part of the problem is to get the message out to the public along with the facts to back it labor gets kicked around by the press and by after dinner business speakers he said Hargrove believes the only way to shake the bad image of labor is to gain acceptance by the other sectors which run the country namely government and big business Organized labor recently proposed a tripartite system of government business and labor as a way out of the economic Ills but the exercise frustrated us Hargrove said We got the bock of the bond So although the future Is away from collective bargaining and toward a tripartite system collective bargaining Is here to stay a while he said He notes that when French President Glscard DEstnlng vlsiled Canada a member of his party was a labor representative a mark or the high esteem and ability to work within the system of European labor Hargrove believes Nevertheless organized labor has nothing to be ashamed of in the standard of I i has I to Canadian workers through the adversary system he said Hargrove said that besides trying move out of the ad versary system organized labor will also continue to lift wage controls The altitude of the govern ment saying that labor is the main culprit of the countrys economic evils refusing to sit with labor other than on unworkable commissions Is like a slap In the face Hargrove said if were being blamed we ought to get a say The government is going to be hard pressed In the next few months to explain rising in flation In light of wages being controlled Inflation Board AIB which Bine a Or I wage increases to ten eight and six per cent annually Wage Increases In the third year of the program to begin Oct I4l977willbeheidtisix However the business sector did not have such stringent guidelines placed on It Hargrove noted Their pro Its were based on the previous five years with no matching decreases annually like on controls Labor wants the return of free collective bargaining Hargrove said for without it labor has nothing The labor movement does not want to replace the government but only to have the some Input Into the decision making process as big business has hod he said Hargrove began his career at IS after finishing Grade to He left his family of 10 in Mew Brunswick and worked out
