By WILLIAM ALLAN DETROIT — On the eve of next week’s convention of the United Autoworkers (UAW) at Atlantic City, a coalition of caucuses has been formed of 20 locals, known as the League of Caucuses for a Democratic UAW. The League has sent a letter to UAW president Leonard Woodcock, and secretary treas- urer Emil Mazey, asking for ‘the same accommodations in the Convention Hall that the Wood- cock caucus gets, which is a hall for caucus meetings, tables for display of literature and spot announcements: on the floor of the convention about caucus meetings. “The 1972 UAW convention comes at a time when the Amer- ican labor movement is the vic- tim of a fierce two-pronged at- tack, launched by the politicians in Washington and the corpora- tions,” the leaders told news- men. “The corporations have laid off millions of workers, plants are being closed down (20 alone with UAW contracts), workers are being forced to take wage cuts, under threats of their plants closing down. “Meanwhile _ prices, dividends, executive and taxes soar. “We had better start prepar- ing for the biggest fight of our lives when we go to this con- vention. We will fight to get on the floor a few of the major questions like organizing the unemployed ,.smembers of our union; to help them win their jobs back by getting a 30-hour week at 40 hours pay, banning all overtime; for job security clauses instead of speedup com- pany security clauses; an end to productivity speedups now the cry of management every- where; an end to discrimination and racist practices inside and outside the shop.” They are working to bring also on the convention floor the issue of peace, demanding a date be set for the U.S. to pull its forces out and stop immedia- tely the bombings against the people of Vietnam. They will also seek to bring onto the convention floor the issue of “one member — one profits, bonuses 4 Auto workers raise issue vote” which would allow 1144 million UAW membe through a referendum yote Unio! elect the International leadership, as is done in me international unions.
