FREED IN EUROPE
Washington, April 12 flJ.R)
Allied armies in' Europe have
released nearly 10,000 U. S.
prisoners of war from the nazls,
according to the best estimates
available today. Liberation of
others Is Imminent.
The Germans marched allied
prisoners away from threatened
fronts in an effort to prevent
their liberation. This has caused
great congestion and confusion
in central Germany, and the
nazis no longer are able to move
prisoners as desired or feed them
adequately because of transpor
tation difficulties and food
shortages.
"Conditions will get worse for
our prisoners before they get
better," Brig. Gen. B. M. Bryan,
army assistant provost marshal

SHOULD MANAGEMENT
BE UNIONIZED?
A Statement by General Motors
M HE National Labor Relations Board
has ordered a bargaining election among
the foremen and other supervisory
groups of a Detroit automobile company.
This company is not a part of General
Motors, but we are concerned with the
principles involved.
This confusing action by the Board
means that it is sanctioning and pro
moting the unionization of management
personnel,' in spite of the fact that the
National Labor Relations Act includes
as an employer ". . . any person acting
in the interests of an employer directly
or indirectly."
We are sure that Congress did not
intend to approve unionization of man
agement when it passed the Act
The results if applied throughout indus
try would be bad for the management
groups involved, bad for industry, bad
for labor, bad for America.
Bad for Foremen
We think It would be bad for foremen
if American industry should be com
pelled to make a change in its proven
type of organization, which would un
avoidably reduce the foreman's status,
diminish his responsibility, authority
and influence, decrease his opportunities
for personal advancement.
In General Motors, foremen have always
had important responsibilities and
authority.
We have always guarded the status of
our foremen, and have provided special
training to improve their abilities, in
crease their efficiency and enhance their
opportunities for promotion to even
more important management positions.
The great majority of General Motors'
principal executives at one time were
foremen.
We are convinced that it would be Im
possible for a foreman to follow both
management and union leaderships at
the same time, and under those condi
tions to carry on all his duties as they
now exist All elements of management
must have a common objective.
It would obviously be impossible, for
instance, for him as a fellow unionist
with those under him, to perform his
functions which relate to their working '
conditions, wages, promotions and as
signments on the unbiased basis which
is essential to good management
Bad for9 Industry
From our experience both before and
during the war, we are certain that the
THE POSITION
OF FOREMEN IN
GENERAL MOTORS
lit General Motors, foremen art Iht
MANAGERS of their departments.
Tbey participate in establishing man'
agement policies in both production
and personnel matters. Tbey bavi
full authority to approve or disap
prove the hiring, lo supervise the
work, and lo make work assignments
of the employes under their super
vision. Tbey initiate wage increases,
transfers and promotions. Tbey art
directly responsible for the efficiency
and safety of their group. Tbey bavt
full authority when necessary to take
immediate, appropriate disciplinary
action for violation of shop rules,
and other improper conduct of their
employes. They are the first point of
management cvntacl and make the
first management decision on all
matters relating lo the employes
under their direction.
accepted American method of sprending
managerial authority and responsibility
among foremen-so that management is
in close, direct contact with compara
tively small groups of workmen-is the
best and only sound method of handling
day-to-day relations with the thousands
of employes engaged in modern mass
production.
Anything which would require a change
in this set-up would interfere with employer-employe
relations and with pro
duction. For example, there have been many
strikes in war production plants, par
ticularly in Michigan. Charges have
been made that workmen have been
loafing in plants engaged in war pro
duction and that they are being paid
high wages for not working. We are
conscious that the public feels that there
must be something wrong. The attempt
to tear down the position and authority
of foremen and to unionize members of
management is importantly contribut
ing to this condition.
Bad for Labor
As a matter of fact, the close-contact
method is about the only way that man
agement and labor can work harmonl
ously together in large organizations.
' Much is said these days about coopera
tion. It would be a serious handicap to
any hopes for teamwork and tie pursuit
of common interests, if anything were
done to remove this facility for knowing
and understanding each other.
It is our firm, sincere belief that loss
of this close contact would make har
monious relations between management
and labor almost impossible and would
interfere with practical collective bar
gaining. Bad for America
The removal of foremen from their
present position as a vital, integral part
of management would require reorgani
zation of factory management on a basis
far more complicated and decidedly less
effective. Necessary factory discipline
would suffer, worker efficiency would
be impaired.
We believe the effect on iou-on the
public as a whole would be very real.
It would interfere with the war effort
It would make war materials cost more.
It would slow up postwar reconversion
to civilian production.
It would delay adequate postwar output
of cars, refrigerators, ranges, furniture
-all the things people need so much and
have waited for so long.
Finally-and, in the long run, perhaps
most important of all-it would so in
crease production costs as to boost
prices and the cost of living, and make
the problem of reasonably full employ
merit much more difficult
Action Called For
When people have as deep a conviction
about anything as we have about union
izing management they ought to do
something about it
If the meaning of the National Labor
Relations Act can be so confused as to
promote unionization of management
and thus impair the effectiveness of the
American production system of which
we are all so proud-then the meaning
ought to be cleared up.
General Motors believes and hopea
others will feel the samethat it is a
patriotic duty, a duty to the foremen, to
industry, to labor, and to the public as
a whole-to oppose the unionization of
management by every proper and law
ful means.
That is our intention.
