The following statement has been,
adopted unanimously by the delegates to the Third IBM Workers International
Solidarity meeting held in New Orleans, on April 24,25,26, 1987. The IBM
employees represented IBMers in the United States, Europe and Japan. |
|
| |
As the management of IBM prepares
for the challenge it faces in the market place, the IBM workers remain
uninformed and fearful on the issues of full employment, redeployment,
arid our future in general. |
|
| |
As representatives of organizations
committed to improving the salary, working conditions, and dignity of
all IBM employees, WE URGE IBM TO: |
|
| |
- Insure job and income security for all employees, especially those
affected by redeployment.
- Allow all employees free access to information pertaining to salary
grids, levels and positions, personnel records, and job opportunities.
- Wherever possible, reduce hours of work and overtime by hiring the
necessary number of people. Limit, unnecessary shit work.
- Develop and implement new technology in a manner that will preserve
and q enhance skills for workers and users.
- Conduct IBM's business operations without harming the environment
or the safety and health of workers. IBM must also assume responsibility
for the working conditions and environment impact of its sub-contractors.
- Cost reduction should not lead to a reduction in the standard of,
living for employees.
- Expand training opportunities and create fair systems for promotion
and transfer.
- Notify IBM workers and their representatives before subcontracting
out new work or entering into joint ventures.
- End age and minority discrimination against IBM employees.
- Stop all interference with IBM employee organizing efforts and cease
discrimination against elected union officers. Recognize and respect
unions in all countries.
