Show COMPANY WILL NOT NEGOTIATE UNTIL AFFIDAVITS SIGNED We must not lose sight of the basic issue, which is whether the International Union of Mine, Mill & Smeltef Workers is communist com-munist dominated. That issue was not changed by Monday's vote. The company's position still is that it will negotiate promptly with any labor organization organi-zation that represents employees, provided the officers of that organization or-ganization have filed non-communist affidavits with the National Na-tional Labor Relations Board. In signing the NLRB affidavit, the union officer vows that he is not a member of the Communist party nor affiliated with that party. He also states that he does not believe in, is not a member of, nor does he support any organization or-ganization that believes in or teaches the overthrow of the United States government by force or by any illegal or unconstitutional un-constitutional method. The company will not bargain with any union whose officers have failed to sign this affidavit and file it with NLRB. From Roy Hatch, director of labor relations, Kennecott Copper Corp., Utah Copper Division. |
