Page Two THE MICHIGAN DAILY Tuesday, August 10, 1976 Police ki two in 8, African clash JUIIANNESHUiG;, South Af- rica ' - Police shot and killed two blacks yesterday in clashes with hands of rampaging youths in Alexandra and other black townships around .ohannesburg. The youths burned schools, stoned vehicles and tried to stop workers from getting to their jobs. The deaths were confirmed by police. ALL EXITS from Alexandra, which borders white residential areas in northern .Johannesburg, were sealed by police road blocks. Violence also resumed after a weekend lull in Soweto, the largest segregated township of more than one million blacks located eight miles south of Johannesburg. Students have been demon- strating and rioting in Soweto since last Wednesday, when they tried to march on down- town Johannesburg to protest the detention of student leaders :ttr the widespread rioting in black townships in June in which I~S perrs ns were killed. GENERAL dissatisfaction with the government's apartheid pol- icy and .specific grievances such as lack of full black parliamen- tary representation have been cited as reasons for the vio- lence. Three persons were reported killed by police gunfire last week, and five others died in the rioting, including a girl fatally trampled by a stampeding mob. All but one of those killed last week were black. Scores of police moved into Alexandra on Monday to clear away student barricades and dis- perse crowds gathering in the streets. In Soweto, students burned several schools, threw up roadblocks and stoned work- ers commuting to Johannesburg. Police firing tear gas fought running battles with stone-throw- ing youths in several scattered districts. "Blacks are taunting the police and efforts are being made to intimidate workers wanting to leave the township," said Police Chief W.H. Motze. Police said black workers at a white-owned factory on the border of Alexandra routed one mob of youths who surrounded the factory. Brief rioting was also reported at Mohlakeng township just east of Johannesburg. A police spokesman said some 600 stu- dents began stoning a school to keep other students from going to classes and then the crowd started smashing windows at the local government office. AN 1$-YEAR-OLD black boy and a 15-year-old girl were wounded by police who said they were *forced to fire to protect their lives. The girl's condition was later described as "fairly serious."

Government of- ficials, including Prime Minister John Vorster promised to main- tain law and order. The U.S. consulate reported a record number of queries in re- cent months about emigration to the United States. "IF THERE are grievances, the door is open to hear those grievances, but the government will certainly not be railroaded into panic action," Vorster said in a magazine being published today. Vorster's comments were his first since he said June 18 that police should use "all available means" to restore order in So- weto. Other ministers have also in- dicated the government will lis- ten to black grievances behind the riots. M.C. Botha, minister of Bantu (African) administra- tion, promised a "new deal" for urban blacks but gave no de- tails. Television viewing tonight THE SOUND VAULTmxe.

These continuous violations confirm what we already know: in all important aspects of the employment relationship, management's interests are fundamentally opposed to our own. Without our Union, we would have no way to defend ourselves against reckless management decisions to sacrifice clerical interests to their own. We would be at the mercy of our supervisors. With our Union, we have the collective strength and organization to stand up to management and supervisors. We can defend ourselves effectively, since we take seriously the position: an attack on one is an attack on all. Without a Union and a contract, we give management the power to "settle" disputes between their interests and ours. We know how they will "settle" such disputes. Here is a partial list of management "settlements" of disputes against which the Union is fighting. These and hundreds of other grievances, now and in the future, would die without a Union. RACISM All white supervisors in one department changed the duties of a Block receptionist to those of a file clerk. They minutely scrutinized her work in hopes that this harassment would cause her to leave the office. Without a Union this clerical could not fight back. 31.1 % of disciplinary charges have been against minority clericals while they comprise only 10.6% of the clerical workforce. UNJUST DISCIPLINE AND HARASSMENT A clerical in the hospital was threatened with disciplinary action, including discharge, after becoming active in the Union. Following a year of harassment, she was given a 2 day disciplinary layoff for alleged "bad attitude" and a failure to perform her duties well. A clerica with 6b1 years seniority was fired for alleged absenteeism. Her resistance to viruses had been weakened by a chronic medical condition, and she had too much public contact on her job. Instead of aiding this worker in finding a job with less public contact, man- agement denied her a transfer and set her up for the firing. Another firing occurred when a Black clerical with ten years seniority was accused of making long distance phone calls on the University WATS Line. She had not made any long distance calls since six months earlier, when she hod voluntarily paid for personal calls before BE YOU! she was told not to make them. She was targeted for this discharge the day after she filed a grievance. Without a Union, these clericals would have no defense. REPLACING PERMANENT CLERICALS Two permanent clerical jobs in an office were filled by temporaries, who have no Union protection or benefits. This lessens the number of clerical positions and trains non-clericals to carry out our jobs in the event of a strike. SPEEDUP A clerical was given a number of additional duties. No extra staff was hired to help her, and she was expected to get everything done-or else. This happens all the time at the University. Without a Union, we have no way to fight back. Through our contract we can define and defend job classifications and amount of work, so that management cannot arbitrarily add duties. RECLASSIFICATION An employee was promoted from C-5 to C-6. Subsequently the University unilaterally reclassified her position to a C-5. Management reclassified four clericals in C-5 positions to C-4's claiming that their duties had decreased, when, in fact, they were performing new duties formerly done by P&A's. Without a Union, these clericals would have to take what manage- ment dished out. in the past year, there have been over two dozen cases of disciplinary layoff and discharge. Without a Union, an individual clerical would have little chance of successfully challenging management's "rights' to carry out such disciplinary actions. Every dispute over wages, benefits, evaluations, working conditions, promotions, absenteeism, harassment, etc. would become an un- equal conflict between a well-organized University management and on isolated individual clerical. Only by using our collective strength in our Union can we protect our jobs, our wages, and our working conditions. The strength of the Union is the membership, and the direction of the Union is determined democratically by the membership. We must not throw away what we worked so long to achieve, since, at present, our Union is our only tool for gaining control of our working lives.
