DISCHARGING A RESPONSIBILITY A Statement of Employee Policy by the Central Western Division of the AiP Tea Company

The privilege of lesdrrvhip ia any industry rarries with it heavy responsibilitiee and obligations. Honest discharge of these duties, we feel, is imperative to the maintenance of an orderly, going business—a business in which management shares with its employees and customers savings effected through efficient operation. Such a business is ours. The necessity of taking stock is recognixed in all business by employee and management alike. In the AIP organixation. however, there is considerably more to this routine “must” than counting the number of cans of foodstuffs on the shelves of our stores; the tea, coffee and butter poundage. Stock-taking with us means consideration of all the interests of our customers, suppliers and our employees. Not a day passes but the officers and directors of AAT are confronted by this tremendous responsibility. Careers, human personalities and scores of other “intangibles" are in the balance. Shelves are easily restocked; not so those other factors. After a series of these latter “stock-takings.” with pardonable pride we announce that, effective this week, all of the some *,500 full-time store clerks of (he Central Western Division, which operates in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois. Ohio. Kentucky and Tennessee, will share with fellow employees from coast to coast whst wo believi is the first 5-DAY, 48-HOUB WEEK la the history of the retail food industry, labor contracts and other Iocs! variables permitting. To our thousands of employees ia this division whose untiring efforts and efficiency have made possible the position we enjoy in the food in* dustry, and to our hundreds of thousands of satisfied customers whoso cooperation and assistance we respectfully seek in making our new work schedule a success, we take this opportunity to reaffirm a few of the cardinal principles upon WM founded 82 years ago by the late George Huntington Hartford, father of its . present-day owners. Z The new S-DAY, 48-HOUR WEEK to an important step in line with the long-standing polity of A&P to give its employees the shortest working hours and the highest wages hi the industry. The new schedule provides that the wages of all employees will be the same as for the Sthour week which has been in effect for several months. I It was in the cracker-barrel period a quartercentury ago that A&P boldly defied tradition / and broke vrith the dawn-to-duak hews of the grocery business by reducing the work week from 72 hours to 11. Those were the days when **** fa* / ■

the breadwinner, whether working in an A&P red front store of that period or to an establishment of a worthy competitor, served the public six and sometimes seven days a week and often worked nights to re-arrange or replenish stock At that time, long hours were quite generally considered as necessary to success in most businesses. Regardless of the highly-compctitive nature of our business, A&P always felt that the work hours of all retail food store employees were too long. It has constantly sought ways and means of reducing them so that A&P employees could enjoy more leisure and, to a greater degree, the warmth and comforts of home life with their families. The recent decision of the A&P to further reduce working hours of its employees again has broken tradition. Once again the company has paced the industry in raising the living standards of retail clerks. But the management is confident that the continued efficient support of its employees will prove, as it has in the past, that better working conditions, fewer hours at the store and more at home, and higher wages will in no way endanger the savings we have always made available to our customers. Wage increases and added compensation during the last year, coupled with a recent shortening of working hours, have given A&P employees the best average wages and the shortest general working hours to the industry—dramatic evidence that through efficient operation it to possible to achieve both low prices to consumers and good working conditions for employees. Wages of full time clerks in the Central Western Division alone have risen approximately 85 per cent since JIM. at which time they exceeded appreciably the average for retail food store employees to all sections of the country. During the last decade, A&P has effected s considerable reduction in working hours, inaugurated vacations wiih pay, provided free and additional group insurance, sick benefits, halfdays off, hospitalization and compensation to employees joining the nation's armed forces as well as many and frequent increases to th* wage Kale. The A&P management has always b**n keenly conscious of its responsibility to its employees, many of whom have devoted their working lives to its interests. The company will continue to maintain the came interest in its employee? welfare U nao always shown. Additional improvements to worktop conditions and beneAts will continue as rapidly as increased efficiency in operation make them possible
