The Michigan Daily-Thursday, July 19, 1979--Page 3 'U' Regent named to Carter campaign committee By JULIE ENGEBRECHT University Regent Robert Nederlan- der (D-Birmingham) was named co- chairman of the state finance commit- tee for the Jimmy Carter-Walter Mon- dale 1980 re-election bid, a national campaign official said yesterday. Nederlander's appointment was made by John Dalton, treasurer of the Democratic National Committee. The 46-year-old Regent also was chairman of the state Democratic finance committee for Carter's 1976 campaign, and was a Carter delegate to the national convention the same year. NEDERLANDER IS scheduled to at- tend an organizational meeting for state finance chairpersons in Washington today, according to the committee official. Nederlander could not be reached for comment. His co-chairman is Stuart Hertzberg, also a graduate of the University's law school. Hertzberg is a senior partner in See NEDERLANDER, Page 10 Doaily Photo by JIMKUZ Wordprocessor employes picket the store front at 211 S. State yesterday. The employees are trying to force the store- owners to recognize the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) as the workers' labor representative. EMPLOYEES CITE WAGES, BENEFITS: Union recognition demanded - BY SARA ANSPACH Employees of Wordprocessors picketed outside the store at 211 S. State St. yesterday, asking passersby to boycott the establishment to support their cause. The picketers said they plan to continue their protest until owners Jim and June Smith recognize the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) as the employees' labor representative. Citing complaints of low wages, no benefits and no job security, ap- proximately sixty per cent of the copying, printing, typesetting and graphics employees signed cards authorizing the IWW to act as their bargaining agent in negotiations with management. WORDPROCESSOR owners, rtoda however, said yesterday they will not recognize the employees' union unless an election is conducted by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). 0 'We are not asking for any. thing outlandish.' -Mary McNamara, employee of Wordprocessors That election must indicate a majority of workers want to join the IWW. Saying her attorneys had advised her to choose the NLRB as a third party to conduct the election, Smith said such an election would be in "the best interests of employees and management. " "There are a lot of people who aren't quite sure where they stand," she said. Without an election conducted by the NLRB, she said, employees would be "relinquishing their voting rights." IWW ORGANIZING agent Eric Glatz said calling in the NLRB would only slow negotiations, adding that there are other, faster parties which could con- duct an employee election. "The biggest tactic employers use to stop unions is to stall," he said. Should the owners continue their refusal to recognize the union, Glatz said he would know in about a week if See WORDPROCESSORS, Page 10 Nederltander I Prof passes away University Library Science Prof. Wallace Bonk died yesterday of heart complications at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital.

Energy solution It looks as if the employees in the Public Works Department in Quincy, Mass., have come up with at least a partial solution to the energy crisis. In a spurt of good, ol' fashioned American patriotism, the employees have consented to participate in a three-month experiment designed to conserve fuel. Under the experiment, employees will put in four days per week. There is a catch, though. The workers now will be clocking 10-hour days, either Monday through Thursday, or Tuesday through Friday. Public Works Commissioner James Ric- ciuti said under the new plan, employees will have more time to finish projects and the department will save fuel by reducing the number of t-ps to and fr- om each job.
