Security, benefits
top UAW issues
Associated Press
DETROIT — Job security and increased layoff benefits,
looming as top issues in upcoming contract talks, were in for
extensive discussion as delegates representing 700,000 United
Auto Workers met here today.
“I’ve had an opportunity to travel around the country and
listen to many of the workers in the plants,” UAW Vice Presi
dent Irving Bluestone said in a recent interview. “Everywhere,
the cry for job security and improvements in (SUB) Supple
mental Unemployment Benefits loom as the top issues this
time. ”
About 1,000 delegates were expected for today’s opening
session of the three-day UAW production workers conference.
A similar conference for UAW skilled trades workers will be
held in February. Recommendations from both meetings will be
brought before a collective bargaining convention in the spring,
when a blueprint will be drafted for new three-year contracts
covering 850,000 UAW members. The current contracts expire
in September.
Unlike prior contract talks, money-in-the-pocket demands
are not expected to play as prominent a role in this fall’s negotia
tions.
Instead, the banner cry this year likely will be job security —
an issue prompted by the massive worker layoffs triggered by
the auto industry’s deep, two-year recessional slump.
“The issues of job security and SUB have never been of such
giant size to our members before, said Bluestone, who heads
the UAW’s General Motors department.
Most UAW rank-and-file weathered the high inflationary
period of two years ago without substantial economic harm
because of cost-of-living allowance clauses won in prior con
tracts.
However, the union has been battered about by the sub
sequent recession, which sent car sales into a nosedive and
layoffs soaring.
