J Wit,
Which is the UAW-CIO really after? Is it seeking facts or new
economic power? Does it want to know things or run things?
These questions concern you as well as General Motors.
For years the facts about General Motors have been
made public.
In spite of this, the UAW-CIO demands a chance to
look at our books, with the hint that we could meet
Union demands "if the truth were really known."
We have firmly declined to recognize this as a basis
for bargaining:
1
The Ful! Facts are Published
How much General Motors takes in each year how much it pays
employes how much it pays to stockholders how much it pays in
taxes how much net profit we make and many other facts are
plainly stated in annual reports and quarterly reports.
These are broadcast to 425,000 stockholders from coast to coast
sent to newspapers and libraries. Additional copies are free for
the asking.
a All Figures are Thoroughly Checked
Every General Motors annual statement is audited by outside
auditors. Similar figures are filed with the Securities & Exchange
Commission.
Does the UAW-CIO honestly believe that General Motors would
or could deceive these experts?
3a Basis of Collective Bargaining is Defined
The Wagner Act lays down the rules for collective bargaining.
These cover such areas as rates of pay, hours of work, working
conditions.
No mention is made of earnings, prices, sales volume, taxes and
the like. These are recognized as the problems of management.
wm Something New has been Added
The obvious fact is that the UAW-CIO has gone beyond its rights
under the law and is reaching not for information but for new
power-not for a look at past figures, but for the power
to sit in on forecasting and planning the future,
A "look at the books" is a clever catch phrase intended as an
opening wedge whereby Unions hope to pry their way into the
whole field of management.
It leads surely to the day when Union bosses, under threat
of strike, will demand the right to tell what we can make, when
we can make it, where we can make it, and how much we must
charge 3OM-all with an eye on what labor can take out of the
business, rather than on the value that goes into the product.

This Thrsaisns ASS Business
If the Union can do this in the case of General Motors, it can
i
do it to every business in this land of ours.
Is this just imagination? Union spokesmen have said, "The
Union has stated time after time that this issue is bigger than
just an ordinary wage argument, that it is bigger than the
Corporation and bigger than the Union."
For Labor Unions to use the monopolistic power of their vast mem
bership to extend the scope of wage negotiations to include more
than wages, hours and working conditions is the first step toward
handing the management of business over to the Union bosses.
We therefore reject the idea of a "look at the books" not because we
have anything to hide but because the idea itself hides a threat to GM,
to all business, and to you, the public.
