“REPORT”

The Board, however, order-

-ed a representation vote in

which only the name of the
I.W.A. appeared on the ballot;
employees also had the option
of voting for no union.

The representation vote
was conducted by the Depart-
ment of Labour on January
7, 1966. In spite of weather
temperatures hovering in the
50 degrees below zero mark,
Simpson workers turned out
en masse to elect the I1.W.A.
as their bargaining agent.
Some employees had to travel
40 miles in the frigid weather
to cast their ballots. In one
case, it took a man three
hours to get his car started
so that he could get to the
polls. Only four employees
failed to vote.

Count of the ballots showed
that 38 voted for the I.W.A.
13 against. 55 persons were
eligible to vote. The Board
had set November 1, 1965 as
the pay roll date for eligible
voters. The I.W.A. had argued
unsuccessfully to have De-
cember ist set as the date
when 85 employees were
working due to employment
of a second shift. Local 1-184
was certified on February 3,
1966.

The following are members
of the Organization Depart-
ment staff: J. C. Walls is the
International Assistant Direc-
tor of Organization in charge
of Region No. 1 Organization
Department and Staff. Re-
gional Organizers are: Mike
Sekora, R. E. “Dick” Larson,
Frank Stich, Vern Griffith
and Jim Rouw.
