THE TRUE FACTS ABOUT OUR DISPUTE WITH BERGS MARKET Paid advertisements have been published in local newspapers by Berg's Markets stating the position of this firm relative to its contract with the Salem Retail Clerks Union and the Salem Meat Cutters Union. We are sure that you will be interested in the true facts relative to this dispute. Our two Unions now have signed wage agreements with all of the leading Independent Grocers and Meat Dealers and Chain Store 'Markets in Salem. These wage agreements provide for fair and equitable wage rates for the retail clerks and meat cutters employed in these Salem Food Makets. : The Independent employers and the local chain stores have agreed to pay certain minimum wage rates for all employees included in the contracts. Meat cutters and wrappers are paid a premium rate of time and one-half for all work performed on Sundays according to the Meat Cutters contract. Retail clerks are paid a premium rate of pay of 35c an hour above regular wage rates for all work perfomed on Sundays; and 25c for night work. The Meat Cutters contract also provides that "a qualified journeyman meat cutter shall be on duty at all times in the market when cutting or selling of fresh meat is being carried on." Berg's Market objects to paying premium rates for meat cutters and clerks employed on Sundays and evenings. We believe that you as a customer of our Salem markets are protected by the serv ices of a qualified meat cutter when you are making your meat purchases. Most customers prefer certain cuts of meat and wish to receive the services of a qualified meat cutter when making meat purchases. All of the major Salem Independent and Chain Store markets have agreed to hire meat cutters as provided in the contract. We as a Union cannot therefore make an exception in the case of Berg's Markets, be cause it would enable this firm to enjoy special concessions not granted other Salem market employers. We believe that the employees of Berg's Markets are entitled to the same premium rate of pay for work performed on Sundays and evenings as that paid by other Independ ent and Chain Employers in the Salem area. Berg's Markets do not wish to comply with this premium pay provision which has been accepted by the leading Salem markets who are listed in this advertisment. It is the policy and desire of our respective Unions to establish wage agreements that are uniformly fair to all of our Union employers. WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT BERG'S MARKETS ARE ENTITLED TO SPECIAL CONCESSIONS WHEREBY THIS FIRM CAN ESTABLISH LOW ER WAGE SCALES THAN THAT PAID BY OTHER UNION EMPLOYERS IN THE SALEM AREA. We are sure that yon will agree that other Salem market operators who are local citizens and taxpayers are entitled to fair treatment from our Unions. We therefore sincerely trust that you will support your fellow citizens and neighbors who are employed in. some twenty-five major food markets of Salem by patronizing the Union retail grocery stores and markets who are friendly to organized labor and who are complying with their respective contracts with our Unions. We regret that it was necessary to take action against the BERG'S MARKETS in order to maintain a fair standard of wages and working conditions for the more than 200 union meat cutters, wrappers, and retail clerks who are employed in Salem retail grocery stores and meat markets. 7 Sincerely yours, The membership and officials of: SALEM RETAIL GROCERY CLERKS UNION, LOCAL NUMBER 992 I THE SALEM MEAT CUTTERS UNION, LOCAL NUMBER 324 The following Union Employers are operating their businesses in accordance with Union Wage Agreements with the Salem Meat Cutters Union and the Salem Retail Clerks Union.
