“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.
