Rustin Calls For Labor Reform
Rv Ravart RllShn kl.,,.1^ .. , r, m/4nclriac onH « .U-_l. .u .
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 "
