Because lAMs overwhelming majority of private industry members have saddled its few Federal employee members with national dues that lean be of no direct benefit to yob. For example: i per cent of the national IAM dues must go into a 16 strike fund. $2.50 dues $5.50 6 per cent of the national IAM and never forget is Federal AFGE 100 employee dues must go into a fund that pays death benefits only for members who joined before 1960. Thus 22 per cent of the na- tional IAM dues must go for expenses of no direct benefit to Federal employees. And this is set by the IAM na- tional convention controlled by the overwhelming private industry membership. Contracting out is the plague of Federal workers. Yet IAM locals in private industry hold these agreements doing the work that should properly be done by Federal employees. IAM local 610 has an agreement with General Dynamics,. IAM local 1 323 has an agree ment with Lockheed. IAM local 2061 has an agree ment with Boeing. It should surprise no one, then, that the national president, of the IAM has not testified opposing the evil of contracting out work. It should surprise no one that IAM did nothing when 600 civil service employees were threatened last month with RIF notices while contractor personnel were doing the same jobs. (It was AFGE action in the Federal courts that save these jobs for Federal workers.) The examples prove again the IAM conflict of interest spells sad news for Federal workers. fljflfflBl March 18 -Monday - 7:30 p.m. O O O Tooele American Federation of Government Employees, 0 f nt AFGE has a contract-negotiatin- g department staffed with the best experts in the Federal field to assist in bargaining with management. f AFGE has a legislative departe ment with 3 registered lobbyists to bring home the legislative benefits to Federal full-tim- employees. ?ele Army iepof wage hoard workers on March 20 the mass meeting all TAD workers invited!
