One of the three employees could file a petition to decertify the union. Durham County Com missioner William V. Bell, president of UDI, and an IBM employee, responded to worker complaints say ing that he wasn't aware of the conditions, and the problems raised would have to be considered as the UDI brought other plants into its Industrial Park. Cabletronics was the first plant brought into the park. Triangle Committee for Economic Justice hosted the meeting and asked Bell and other members to adopt eight principles that would pre vent bad workssdntlitions as they seek other firms for the park. The drive to raise funds to assist some of the former employees was deemed necessary because it has been reported that the company refused to, givemosu o tyjsftr job , :refCTenc,V;s9,ne - ffltfy work long enough to get unemployment compensa- -tion; and, most are Women who are heads of households.

After the vote, the layoffs began. While workers charged that the layoffs were related to the union organizing, company of ficials said the layoffs were due to a loss of con tracts the major one be ing IBM. At the meeting with UDI board members, worker? told of threats by managers during the union drive that if the plant was unionized, IBM would cut its work back. Company officials earlier denied the allegations. Ellis said the latest move by Cabletronics could be aimed at decerti fying the union. He said present law would allow Sponsor (Continued f rom Front) cies receiving state funds to determine if their prac tices are in compliance with the United States and North Carolina Constitu tions, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 the Rehabilitation Act of 1973,..and related United States Supreme Court decisions and report its findings and recom mendations to the 1983 Session of the General Assembly. "Section 2. This resolu tion is effective upon ratification." The Reagan administra- tion promised the state governors in Washington last week at the Annual Governors Conference that he, in' exchange for support of his proposed budget cuts, would return authority to . handle federal funds to the states. Those who have historically been victims of discrimination are con cerned about the effects of the lack of federal control over various programs. If Rep. Spaulding's resolu tion passes both branches of the State Legislature, it may give some legal recourse to those who are affected by discrimination in agencies and programs receiving state funds.
