Special To The Post "The most vulnerable and least secure members of soci ety” are victimized b\ short comings in the nation's labor lawf^"- declared Bayard Kus tin. President of the A Philip Randolph Institute in testimo ny before the Senate subcom mittee on Labor on September 23. Kustin said that millions of workers are denied the rights of full freedom of association, self-organization, and desig nation of representatives of their own choosing The noted civil rights leader told the Senate panel, which is chaired by Senator Harrison Williams of New Jersey, that the purpose of the labor law reform bill is. "simple jus tice " Kustin observed that the legislation, which is sup ported by President Carter, the AFL-CKJ, and religious and civil rights groups, does not ask the Congress to esta blish new rights, but "merely seeks that rights already pro mised are made a reality " He said that reforms are needed so that workers could decide whether to join unions "with out the threat of coercion, harassment, intimidation, or reprisal " "When the rights to orga nize and bargain collectively are denied." Kustin declared, "black workers are special victims." He explained that regions where employers have most ruthlessly resisted un ions He also noted that "the absence ot effective remedies against employer abuses has frequently resulted in the deli berate worsening of racial relations On the basis of personal experience. Kustin said it was clear that "in exercising their rights as workers, many blacks face barriers which are almost as formidable as those they faced in gaining their civil rights and voting rights Twenty years ago. a black worker risked being fired if he was a known civil rights acti vist Today, black workers risk being fired if they are known union activists " Kustin described the 1-abor Law Reform Act as an impor tant part of the answer in closing the income gap be tween black and white Ameri cans He cited figures from the 1970 census showing that blacks in the trade union movement earned $2000 more a year than their non-union counterparts There is sub stantialiy less discrimination in the unionized sector of the economy than in the non-un ionized sectors. "A fair chan ce to organize unions is an essential precondition for the economic advancement of blacks, as well as women and other minorities." • tllioup, wiv pi VpVJHia 111 n»v l-abor Law Reform Act. which Rustin described as particu larly important are: double backpay lor workers who are illegally discharged before the initial contract, prohibiting firms which violate labor laws Irom obtaining Federal con tracts. and measures to insure expeditions and meaningful elections and to streamline the procedures of the National l-abor Relations Board Rus tin said that these and other reforms in the bill would do much to guarantee that wor kers. both black and white who wish to bargain collec tively with their employers shall have a reasonable and prompt chance to do so " luargurei w uuace Road ('.loses For Reconstruction Beginning at 9 a m Mon day.
