OREGON Clait of Oa t t Wrl4 Great Mfwlmg Or(aisatla k1 j j You've Probably Been Wondering Jusl What's Holding op a Settlement Lei's Clear up Some Ilajor Poinls Quickly: Gasoline Picture Remains Good Most of the oil companies refineries arc producing now at capacity. Plenty of regular grade gas is available to western motorists. You can be sure of a full tank any time you want it . . . and we'll be producing special grade fuels for you just as soon as possible after the strike ends. Agreement cn Wages No Longer A Problem The wage issue has, until recently, been the only point of disagreement. That's why the strike was called. Recently, officials of OWIU-CIO have publicly indi cated their willingness to accept our offer of 12Vj cents an hour increase for their members. Dehiring cl Certain Strikers is Ilajor Issne Now The major barrier to a sell lenient now concerns issues that are a product of the strike itself issues that came up as a result of the fact that the strike teas called. These issues concern the re-hiring of strikers in two categories: 1. Those strikers who have committed acts of violence. t 22. Those strikers whose jobs have been filled by other employees. Strikers Who Committed Acts of Violence Under category No. 1, all the companies have unani mously refused to re-hire those strikers who committed acts of violence against their fellow-employees and their families, against the public and against the com panies. Over the years the oil companies have been justifi ably proud of the people who work in the industry. That feeling holds true today. By far the great major ity of those who went out on strike conducted them selves with dignity and with reasonable restraint. Buts there were a few who didn't. The oil companies feel thatto re-hire tho?e would be a breach of faith with our other employees. We don't see how we can expect em ployees who have been man-handled in the streets to work side-bv-side with those who committed such a violence. Strikers Whose Jchs Have Been Filled Under Category No. 2, the situation varies from com pany to company depending on the steps each com pany had to take in order to get its struck facilities back into operation. j In some cases, employees who refused to strike or who returned to work after staying out for a while are now filling different! jobs than they held formerly because those jobs had to be manned. In other cases, some new people have been hired for the same rea son. The situation varies; at each company. But w 'lere ever either one of these steps was taken, it. was done for only one purpose: to get our plants back into operation so that the public could be supplied tvith enough gasoline and other pe troleum products to continue its normal daily life, i j . j Can't Penalize Present Employees For Helping Out in j Emergency The oil companies are going to make every effort to find employment for all employees not now working provided they have not committed violence. But at the same time, we won't do anything to jeopardize the positions of those employees who are now employecl employees who helped riot only us but the public in is emergency, j meeting th The Law Offers a Fair Solntion ? 1 The law gives workers the right to strike. It gives com panics the right to operate their plants. The law also provides the rules to follpw when these two rights come in conflict. j The law provides that; those employees who are not re-hired can take their cases up with the National La bor Relations Board each case to be examined on its own merits. The law provides further that the em ployee or the company can appeal an NLRB decision to the courts. j Should any company he found guilty of discrimin ation against any employee, the law provides that he be re-hired and given back pay in full. The same law that gives employees the right to strike provides the means of protecting the interests of those who participate in a strike. The companies cannot! pre sume to by-pass its provisions by private agreement. The individual oil companies are continuing negotiations- in good faith as always looking toward fair, early settlement of this strike.
