UA W head blasts Reagan's trade policies
INDIANAPOLIS (AP)-Owen
Bieber, international president of
the United Auto Workers, blasted
the Reagan administration's
trade policies yesterday during a
campaign swing through In diana
for UAW-endorsed political nom-
inees.
Noting the large number of
auto workers in Indiana, Bieber
said, "The working people in this
state have a tremendous stake in
this year's election."
HE SAID free-trade policies
have led to Indiana's loss of 11
percent of its manufacturing jobs
since 1976, "most of the loss since
Ronald Reagan took office."
Bieber said he "doesn't have
any argument" with Japanese
auto companies relocating in the
United States.. However, he said
the Japanese are purchasing only
about 30 percent of the vehicles'
components in this country. He
said the Japanese have been
shipping drive trains to the
United States that already have
been assembled in Japan.
The Japanese are bringing
their own support companies with
them, he said.
"FOR every assembler in a
domestic auto plant, there are 11
support jobs created," the union
leader added. "The Japanese
assembler here generates only
three jobs."
Bieber also denounced the
situation created when Japanese
companies show an interest in
coming to the United States,
sparking a bidding war among
states.
"It bothers me that states end up
building a facility for a profit-
making organization," he said.
"That's a vast departure from the
American way."
Bieber represents 85,000 active
UAW members in Indiana,
15,000 laid-off workers who are
subject to recall, 25,000 laid-off
workers who are no longer subject
to recall, and 25,000 retirees.

increase to offset the high cost of
living in Ann Arbor. In addition,
GEO wants a 10 percent increase
in the amount of teaching
assistants' tuition waivers,
partially because the Board of
Regents voted in July to raise
graduate school tuition by 8
percent.
UNION President Martin
Doettling, a teaching assistant in
German, called the tuition hikes
a "huge burden for graduate
students."
"Basically, the University is
asking us to lose money when
currently we're not making
much," said Richard Dees, a
teaching assistant in philosophy.
Teaching assistants and staff
assistants are excused from 50
percent of the tuition they would
otherwise pay.
The two sides began talks in
February, but the old contract ran
out March 15. Since then,
U' postpone
University teaching assistants
have been working under a
contract extension.
A STUDY done by the GEO
claims that the University ranks
seventh among Big Ten
universities in teaching assistant
compensation. The union says
the University is offering a 4.7
percent pay increase plus a 5
talks
percent tuition waiver increase
for only half of the teaching staff
assistants and no increase for the
remaining teaching and staff
assistants.
A spokesman for the University
declined to comment on the
negotiations.
GEO is also requesting paid
training for first-time teaching
with
mediator
assistants. The University
currently offers unpaid training
in some departments, but
Doettling said it is important for
teaching assistants with no
previous experience to' have an
incentive to take a training class.
"The University is good enough to
offer paid TA training. It's only
professional," he said.
