WARFOLK ‘@ Westfield Street Phone Hammond 2642 JORGY’S CAFE LUNCH COUNTER @ NEWS STAND @ BILLIARDS EIGHT POINTS TO REMEMBER By BILL GRAY UNDER article eight of the Master Agreement the Union has the authority and the right to set up Ac- cident Prevention Commit- tees. In view of the number of deaths reported in the last few weeks there is a dire need for a new drive in accident prevention by the union as well as by the employers concerned. Each safety see where they can cut down the hazards that exist.in the opera- tion in which they are employed. Not only the Safety Committee, but each individual worker needs to watch carefully and report im- mediately any dangerous condi- tion or practice. In the Accident Prevention Regulations of the Workmen’s Compensation Act under section 96, there are eight sub-sections that each safety committee should know by heart. I am going to include some of these here, and I shall make comments following each seetion. (a) “The Accident-prevention Committee shall make a thor- ough inspection not less than once a month of the entire plant or place of employment for the purpose of determining hazar- dous conditions, to check unsafe practices, and to receive com- plaints and recommendations with respect to these matters.” If there is any condition that arises between these monthly inspections, the accident preven- tion committee and union mem- bers, must not wait for the next inspection, but report the condi- tion at once and see that it is corrected at the earliest possible moment. It is foolish to suppose that any hazardous condition will wait a month, two weeks or twenty-four hours before some- one is hurt). (b) “To promptly investigate all serious accidents as well as any unsafe condition or practice that may be reported to it. Such investigation to include aeci- dents which might have caused serious injury to a workman, whether or not such injury ac- tually occurred or not.” Section 97 is of special inter- est to union members in logging camps. It says and I quote: “The Committees in connection with logging camps shall, in addition to their other duties, inspect particularly all SPAR-TREES, GIN-POLES, SKID-ROADS, & GENERAL WORKING CONDI- TIONS IN AND ABOUT THE CAMPS.” committee must take stock and | ff By J. Stewart Alsbury, District President IWA There are some well known precautions which should be ob- served by shop stewards if they expect success in handling griev- ances. Play fair with your fellow workers and with the manage- ment. Give the other fellow a chance to save face—you may need to save yours some day. Don’t brag over any of your vic- tories. 5 Take a positive and not a de- fensive approach to management. Never go into a.meeting with a chip on your shoulder. Demand Shop Steward Notes oe the same respect from the other fellow that you give to him. Keep cool. Don’t give an ad- yantage to your opponent by los- ing your temper. Shouting and pounding tables never settled anything. " Listen before talking. Lots of stewards have talked themselves out of a good case by talking too much, Stick to your point, and do just enough talking to keep the conversation ‘on. the point. Then you can demand: that man- agement should hear you out. Don’t let yourself be side- tracked by side issues. Avoid per- sonal cracks as much as possible. LOGGERS! WORKMEN!
