Strike takes its toll on middle management
NEW YORK (AP) — Man
agers, coaches and trainers who
work with replacement players
may be eliminated from the
union’s benefits and licensing
programs.
Eugene Orza, the union’s No.
2 official, said Monday that the
union’s executive board will
consider the issue when it next
meets, probably the week of
Jan. 30. He said no decision
will be made until then.
“This isn’t very pleasant for
anybody,” San Francisco Giants
manager Dusty Baker said.
“This is kind of like making
people choose are you for the
Union or for the Confederacy.”
The players’ association rep
resents the manager, four
coaches and two trainers from
each team for the benefits pro
gram and one additional coach
for the licensing program.
Those club employees pay dues
to the union of $20 per day dur
ing the season.
“We understand the difficul
ty they face,” Orza said. “But
they have to understand the
difficulty players face.
“They are being asked in
essence to help break the
union. ... There is no law to
compel us to represent them.
The options range from doing
nothing at all to abandonment
of the coaches’ and trainers’
and managers’ representation.”
The union could stop collect
ing dues from the team employ
ees and eliminate them from
the licensing program while
still representing them for
health benefits and pensions.
“Coaches are kind of in the
middle of the road,” New York
Mets coach Bobby Wine said.
“If they do something with
management, the players’ asso
ciation gets mad. If they do
something with the players’ as
sociation, they get fired.
“Eventually some of those
players might become managers
and coaches and they’ll be on the
other end, too,” Wine said.
“We’ve got to do what we’ve got
to do, and they’ve got to do what
they’ve got to do, too.”
Baker went through the first
strike in 1972, his rookie season.
“There’s a few of us,” he
said, “who have been through
and fought for a lot and paid
our dues, so to speak, on the
players’ side: myself, Don Bay
lor, Jim Fregosi, Davey John
son; Phil Garner, Cito Gaston.
We paid our dues and lost a lot
of money striking for where
these people are now.”
Only Oakland manager Tony
La Russa has said he may not
manage replacement players.
But La Russa can be secure in
knowing he probably would
have multiple managerial offers
if he left the Athletics.
“I’m middle management,”
Baker said. “Middle management
means you’re in the middle. It’s
the toughest position to be in.”

To dial
long distance
within your
area code,
simply add
your area
code
1 + (your area code) + the number
With so many new telephones, cellular
phones, fax machines, modems and pagers,
quite frankly, we need more phone numbers.
So here’s how' GTE is freeing up a slew'
of new ones: Instead of dialing ‘1’ plus
a seven-digit number for long distance
within your home area code, now simply
dial c l’ plus your area code, then the
number. Easy, huh? Oh, and don’t forget
to reprogram any auto dialing equipment
you may have. Speaking of auto dialers,
GTE offers “Speed Calling-8,” a time
saving feature that stores up to eight
frequently called numbers. To order, call
1-800-346-4300. Then, whether you’re
dialing long distance or not, it’s even easier.
