Harry Bridgeit Weathers storm by Leif Erickson san Francisco a next to Alcatraz the most per manent non floating establish ment on the West coast is Harry Bridges. For decades the longshore men s Union president now in his 70th year has weathered More storms than a lightship and invariably emerged still glowing and blowing. Bridges is currently in a Lull Between gales Riding out an 80 Day Taft Hartley injunction that temporarily stopped a shutdown of 24 Pacific ports by the Dock workers of Bridges inter National longshoremen s and warehousemen s Union. That Bridges runs a tight ship is indisputable but a con caption that he is an obstreperous intransigent Trade unionist is at Odds with the record. He is an admitted marxist. But he is regarded by his capitalistic adversary the Pacific maritime association As a Man of his word. The current injunction temporarily ended a 100-Day walkout it was the first strike of his men in 23. Years and what other . Waterfront can make that statement he has fought management but he has battled with his own men to get them to a revolutionary mechanization of West coast docks an agree ment that has worked out for both management and labor. That agreement has led to the main Issue of the current dispute. Bridges is arguing that his men and not the teamsters or other unions should stuff and strip Container cargoes ill freight stations away from the docks. He also wants the pm to raise pensions by sharing the returns of increased productivity and to guarantee 40 hours of weekly work or pay for the registered work Force. Unless agreement is reached Bridges says the strike is not called it will resume he says after the Christmas new year Holiday. Bridges has rarely been at a loss for words in his years of tangling with his men their employers and the . Govern ment which used to try and de port him As regularly As the swallows return to Capistrano. The swallows come and go. Bridges stayed. The australian born labor Leader has been Here since he was 19 when he jumped ship in san Francisco after a beef with his skipper. In the half Century since he has remained a dedicated Trade unionist a Radica critic of american foreign poll by and the Vietnam War and re sents. Any talk that he May be mellowing. Look some people talk about me getting More Mellow whatever the hell that he told an interviewer. I Don t think it is sound to say i m getting More Mellow. They mistake finding More effective ways of doing things for mellowness. My thinking is marxist and the Basic thing about this Lousy capitalistic system is that the workers create the wealth but those who own it the Rich keep getting Richer and the poor get he said. In recent years Bridges har dest struggles have been with his own Union membership on the Issue of fighting or living with increasing mechanization of cargo handling. Bridges and the Iwu Leader ship Laboured for months in 1960 to persuade the Dock workers to buy the first five year mechanization and modernization agree ment with the Pacific maritime association the employer organization. The Deal finally negotiated called for pm payment of million Over 5va years for retirement bonuses death and disability benefits and a guar a n t e e of 35 hours weekly straight time pay. In e x c h a n g e the Iwu agreed to abandon its Long standing work rules and to allow the ship and terminal operators full Freedom to instal Container operations and cargo handling machinery. In 1966 a new five year mechanization agreement was negotiated substantially increasing the benefits to the workers. The expiration of the second five year mechanization agree ment Jiulie 30, 1971, ended a no table Span of 23 years without a Pacific coast waterfront strike. The Pacific coast waterfront has been notably free of pilfer ing and racketeering scandals unlike some other waterfront areas. Bridges takes Pride in being one of the lowest paid Union leaders in the United states. At the Iwu s biennial convention n Honolulu last april his Sala was raised to from a year. His expense Al Lowance for away from Home work was increased to a Day from the scale for other International officers con forms. I can t go along with those who seem All too willing to Givi up on the Trade unions by Dis missing them As Well fed affluent prejudiced backward and misled by a Bunch of fat Ca labor Bridges said.
