JOB SECURITY: Company refusal of minimal retraining of work- ers according to seniority; eliminating job secur- ity by seniority.

HEALTH & WELFARE: Company requests employees to pick up future costs of coverage.

CONTRACTING OUT: Company contracting out jobs which were tradi- tionally done by mill employees, eliminating jobs in local area.

SHORTER WORK WEEK: Company refuses to address shorter work week, eliminating more jobs in area,

CONCESSIONS: Company is cancelling negotiated items rather than negotiating cut of contract.

ONE YEAR CONTRACT: Local #1 feels that a one-year contract will keep stability on the job site.

PENSIONS: Our Pension Plan is below poverty levels. Exam- ple: A worker who completes 20 years’ service at age 65 receives $288.40 per month maximum.

The members of Local #1 are quite realistic about the recession and unemployment, but feel the industry is using these to their advantage to formulate a contract at the employees’ expense. P.P.W.C. Local #1 Negotiating Comraittee
