An . ppeal To Local Labor...
And A Warning To The Public Of Juneau And Douglas
We lake this means io appeal to you, Mr. and Mrs. Juneau, and to you who live in
Douglas... to our friends in labor and our friends who employ labor.
Once again we have a strike for higher wages and different working conditions.
Our work is stopped right in the best part of the building year. We have to shut down
our entire payroll because our Laborers want a couple of things that just don t make
sense. Before we attempt to simplify the wage and condition demands, we want to state
that it is a shame, once again, that a handful of men can stop the summer payroll of hun
dreds of other working men - just to force upon us something that neither we nor most
of the craft trades in this town think necessary.
Juneau can t stand much more of this. We see business leaning heavily on gov
ernment payrolls in the absence of industry payrolls. Our seasonal payroll will be lost
and there will be a cold winter ahead unless you and we can persuade the Laborers
Union that their demands are unreasonable. _
The head of the Laborers' Union came to us separately and told us that he had signe
up the others for all demands-he hadn't. He claimed to have signed up Petersburg,
Haines, Skagway and Wrangell, this in a release to The Empire July 12. The only loca
contractor in Petersburg happens to be in town - and has heard no demands. Hames has
no contractors, Skagway has one carpenter. In other words, the union head, a Mr. Con
nors, tried to stampede us into raising the labor scale - which after all does come out o
the party ordering building improvements or repairs. The whole matter is unfortunate,
we think, and the members of the craft unions agree with us 100%.
Here is whai the Laborers want and why we don't think we should give in:
We Will Not Sign Ihe AGC Master Agreement lor one thing because it demands that
we differentiate between the hundreds of classifications of laborers and pay each a dif
ferent scale for each hour spent in each different job,paying the highest scale for Ihe en
tire day earned in any one job, even if the laborer helped out in the higher classification
only fifteen minutes. Another thing, we cant hire labor from the home or on the street
we have to go through the Union, giving 48 hours notice. The Laborers Union insis s
on a fifty-cents-an-hour raise to Two Dollars per Horn and Higher for ditch diggers,
brush cutters, general labor, timber fallers, asphalt rakers, etc.
Do you, Mr. and Mrs. Public, realize that if we sign the contract that you will have
to pay the same for occasional labor to work around your home or summer cabin The
Employment Service will have men sitting around idle if labor costs too much. We offere
$1.85 per hour - isn't that enough for common, unskilled labor?
We think it is. We don't want to make too much of this difference in opinion - we
just want to ask you people who are going to pay the price to reason with your friends
in the Laborers' Union and let us get back to work while ihe weather holds out.
