ALLISON WORKERS-

Here's What You Vote for When You Vote UAW-CIO

X UAW-CIO. ‘A Union That Puts Love of Country Before Every Other Consideration. The UAW-CIO and its members have bought more than $50,000,000 in war bonds; its officers, by appointment of President Roosevelt, are serving on the War Labor Board, the Manpower Commission, the Selective Service boards and other official wartime agencies. The UAW-CIO has not called one single strike since Pearl Harbor; it has served its members by mediation, conciliation and arbitration.

X UAW-CIO. A Union That Brings Economic Security

to Its Members. Members of the UAW-CIO today earn the highest average wage of any other large group of workers in the nation. The UAW-CIO last year won a ten cents an hour raise for more than 250,000 GM workers, including those at Allison. Today it is negotiating for a flat dollar a day raise to enable its members to catch up with rising prices; it is striving to bring the rates of Allison aircraft workers up to the highest rates in the industry,-the rates which the UAW-CIO has won for Ford aircraft workers.

X UAW-CIO. A Union That Has Brought Fair Play and Genuine Collective Bargaining Into the Plants of

GM. The UAW-CIO was the first to win vacation pay for GM workers; it was the first to establish plant grievance and shop steward systems; it was the first to win an impartial umpire to settle disputes between men and management that arise in the plants. The UAW-CIO established the system of seniority rights (job security), lay-offs and rehiring on the basis of seniority, protection against unfair discharges, call-in pay, night shift bonuses. It is today negotiating with GM further

to improve these provisions. X UAW-CIO. An Honest, Democratic, Plant - wide. In-dustry-Wide Union Run by Its Membership. The UAWCIO constitution is the most progressive and democratic of any in the country. The workers in the shop frame contract de-

fe ———

mands, sit in while contracts are being negotiated, and vote before contracts are accepted. Dues is limited to $1 a month and may be raised only by the membership. Periodic and complete financial reports are supplied the membership. All Officers are elected by the membership, and are subject to recall by the membership.

X UAW-CIO. A Union With More than 600,000 Members in the Aircraft. Automotive and Parts Plants of the

Nation. The UAW-CIO has contracts with more than 800 companies or plants, including, GM, Ford and Chrysler. It has more than thirty aircraft plants under contract. By careful and membership-supervised financial methods, the UAW-CIO has built up a good reserve fund to protect the union during any period of depression, when members are exonerated from payment of dues.

X UAW-CIO. A Union Whose 600,000 Members Have

Fraternal, Mutual - Assistance Relations with the Other 6,000,000 Members of the CIO. When you join the UAWCIO, your strength as an individual becomes the strength of

16,000,000 fellow American workers. This mighty army fights

your battles in legislative halls, as well as in the shop. It seeks and obtains improved social security and unemployment compensation laws, protection against unfair taxation, protection of all your rights under the Constitution of the United States.

X UAW-CIO. A Union That Plans for the Future and

Seeks a Job for Every Worker After the War Is Ended. The Allison plant is a war plant. Will it be a ghost plant after the war? Will you have your jobs? The answer depends in large measure on how strong we can organize the workers, not in puny, little company unions, but in mighty nation-wide unions federated together in the Congress of Industrial Organizations. The UAW - CIO is planning now for you and other workers after the war is over. Our slogan will be a job for

every worker. The thirty hour week will be the first step. -

For Vietory on the Battlefront! For Security at Home!
