March/April 2012 1

Workers Memorial Day

P rotecting the safety and health of workers is among the labor movements most important priorities. Safe jobs are critical to preserving and improving our quality of life. Over the past four

decades tremendous progress has been made in reducing workplace injuries, illnesses and deaths. Since 1970, when the Occupational Safety & Health Act was passed, workplace safety and health conditions have improved, and we have partnerships with many of our employers in joint health & safety efforts that have proven effective in reducing workplace hazards and on the job injuries.

But still, too many workers remain at serious risk of injury, illness or death. On an average day 149 workers lose their lives as a result of workplace injuries and diseases (12 die from injuries and 137 from diseases) and another 11,344 are injured or become ill.

The Obama administration has returned OSHA to its mission to protect workers’ safety and health. They have moved forward with new safety and health standards on job hazards and new initiatives to strengthen enforcement. The administration has increased the job safety budget and hired hundreds of new inspectors, restoring the cuts made during the Bush administration. But business groups and the Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives are attacking these stronger measures, falsely claiming they kill jobs. They are pushing legislation to make it dif�cult, if not impossible, to issue needed safeguards to protect workers and the public.

This year on April 28th, the unions of the AFL-CIO observe Workers Memorial Day to remember those who have suffered and died on the job and to renew our efforts for safe workplaces. Workers in the United States need more safety and health protection, not less. OSHA is now over 40 years old and is out of date. Congress needs to pass the Protecting America’s Workers Act to extend the law’s coverage to workers currently excluded, strengthen civil and criminal penalties for violations, enhance anti-discrimination protections and strengthen the rights of workers, unions and victims.

The GMP joins with the AFL-CIO in calling for the nation to renew the commitment to protect workers from injury, disease and death and make this a high priority. All employers must meet their responsibilities to protect workers and be held accountable if they put workers in danger. Only then can the promise of safe jobs for all of America’s workers be ful�lled.

The GMP’s 74th Quadrennial Convention is set for Monday August 6 through Friday August 10, 2012. During the Convention we will review the accomplishments of the past and chart our Union’s course for

the future. The Convention delegates will debate and vote on resolutions that give focus to our goals and help us better serve our membership. All GMP locals are encouraged to send their full quota of delegates and be an active participant in the Convention proceedings.

TO THE OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF THE GLASS, MOLDERS, POTTERY, PLASTICS & ALLIED WORKERSINTERNATIONAL UNIONMEDIA, PENNSYLVANIA 19063

As required by Article 14 in the Constitution, International President has appointed the Board of Audits for the �scal year ended October 31, 2011. The following members of the International Union have been appointed:

Steve Schmillen, Chairperson, Local Union 140, Streator, Illinois

Linda Dickey, Local Union 419, Newell, West Virginia

Johnnie Bartley, Local Union 40, Newark, New Jersey

Charles McIntyre, Local Union 17, Modesto, California

The Board examined and veri�ed the �nancial report, receipts, disbursements, and investments of all activities of the International Union, by making a detailed audit of all �nancial operations for the �scal year ended October 31, 2011. The Board submits the follow-ing reports:

(1) VERIFICATION OF THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Board reviewed the books of entry in which the dues, fees, bonding receipts and supplies received by the International Union were recorded in the computer, which in turn generated the Daily Cash Receipts Journal printouts, which were then compared to the designated bank statements.

Investment income of interest and dividends, contract printing and miscellaneous receipts were veri�ed for receipts and deposits and found correct as shown.

All disbursements for operations, services, conferences, conventions, investments and other International Union activities were paid by checks, which were recorded and prepared on the books of entry with the aid of the computer system. These canceled checks were compared to the bills for these activities and found to be ordinary and necessary, and for the bene�t of the members of the Inter-national Union.

(2) EXAMINATION OF INVESTMENTS

On Monday, February 13, 2012, the Board of Audits, together with the International President, and the International Secretary- Treasurer, reviewed the securities removed from the safe deposit boxes of the PNC Bank, Media, Pennsylvania, and other securities held in the of�ces of the International Union, for the purpose of examining the securities of the General Fund, Death Bene�ciary Fund, Security Fund, GMP Memorial Scholarship Fund, Conference Fund and Convention Fund and listed the following:

(3) THE GENERAL FUND

The General Fund was found in agreement with the published reports of the International Secretary-Treasurer. The General Fund is the operating fund for all the ordinary and necessary activities of the International Union, which includes responsibility for all �eld services, arbitrations, legal matters and all other things pertaining to the general welfare of the entire membership from Convention to Convention.

(4) THE DEATH BENEFICIARY FUND

The Sixty-Fifth Convention held in May 1973, approved an increase in the International Dues of $1.00 per month effective July 1, 1973, which would be set aside and transferred to the Death Bene�ciary Fund, which would provide a Death Bene�t for each and every mem-ber in good standing. The Sixty-Ninth Convention increased the International Dues for the Death Bene�ciary Department to $2.00 per month effective January 1, 1993. When a member meets the requirements as set forth in the Rules and Regulations of the Death Bene�-ciary Department, the member is no longer required to make contributions for bene�ts. The Board of Trustees, which is composed of the International President and the International Secretary-Treasurer, announced at the Educational Conferences held in September of 1982, that this Death Bene�t would be $2,000 on or after January 1, 1983, for all eligible participants who had not reached the age of

65 on or after January 1, 1983. This Death Bene�ciary program is possible because of the prudent management policies of the Board of Trustees and the International Staff. However, there are still some bene�ts that will only provide $125, $200, $225, $250, $350, $450, $500, $700, $1,000, or $1,500, based on the times when the paid-up bene�t became available.

During the �scal year ended October 31, 2011, the International Of�ce processed and paid 955 death bene�ts to the bene�ciaries designated by our deceased members.

The Board examined the applications for death bene�ts and veri�ed proof of death and membership in good standing for claims paid. These receipts and payments agree with the annual report. The excess receipts have been invested.

(5) THE SECURITY FUND

The Security Fund, established by Convention action in 1957, has been set up to defray the cost of necessary direct action for the bene�t of the members of the International Union.

Fifty Cents ($.50) of the International Dues presently paid monthly by each member is allocated and deposited to this Fund. The Fund was found adequate in compensating those members who were involved in strike actions, which were taken as a result of unsettled wage negotiations held during 2011.

As adopted by the 72nd Convention and 73rd Convention, the investment income of the Security Fund may be transferred for use as an organizing fund only if, in the view of the Trustees, the Security Fund assets are suf�cient to maintain the Fund’s integrity, and the Fund exceeds a balance of $8,000,000 (FMV).

Transfers of investment income for $129,700 were made for the �scal year ending October 31, 2011.The Board veri�ed the receipts of the Security Fund and noted the disbursements incurred as a result of the necessary direct action

taken for the bene�t of the members of the International Union.

(6) THE CONFERENCE FUND

The Conference Fund, established by Convention action in 1965, has been set up to defray the costs of the Conferences and wage nego-tiations for the bene�t of all our Local Unions. The investment earnings in the Conference Fund accumulate in the General Fund.

The International President has allocated suf�cient funds to meet the requirements of the wage negotiations and conferences which were held during the period November 1, 2010 to October 31, 2011 and to fund the future wage negotiations and conferences which are scheduled in the following year.

The Board veri�ed the receipts of the Conference Fund and noted the disbursements incurred as a result of wage negotiations and conferences held for the bene�t of the members of the International Union as of October 31, 2011.

(7) THE GMP MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP FUND

The GMP Memorial Scholarship Fund is continuing its modest and stable growth each year. The International Union announced in July of 2007 that instead of eight new scholarship awards each year, there would be six new college scholarship awards and four voca-tional, technical, or two-year associate degree program awards. Also, the International Union announced that effective August 2007, the college awards are valued at $4,000 per year and the two-year degree certi�cate or training programs are valued at $2,000 per year (not to exceed the cost of the program). There are presently twenty-two (22) recipients from this Fund in post high school programs. All of the recipients are children of GMP members.

The members of the International Union should be very proud of this major accomplishment and should continue to contribute and support this Fund. The �gures are in agreement with the Annual Report.

(8) THE CONVENTION FUND

The Sixty-Second Convention held in March 1961 approved a Fund called the Convention Fund. This Fund has been used to defray the costs of Conventions, and the Sixty-Third Convention, the Sixty-Fourth Convention, the Sixty-Fifth Convention, the Sixty-Sixth Convention, the Sixty-Seventh Convention, the Sixty-Eighth Convention, the Special Merger Convention of 1988, the Sixty-Ninth Convention, the Seventieth Convention, the Seventy-First Convention, the Seventy-Second Convention, and the Seventy-Third Convention were properly funded with the dues allocations. The investment earnings in the Convention Fund accumulate in the General Fund.

The International President will allocate amounts suf�cient to fund the Seventy-Fourth Convention, which will be held in 2012.

(9) COMMENTS

The Board of Audits �nds that the GMP leadership, International President Bruce R. Smith and International Secretary-Treasurer Walter F. Thorn, have continued the bold and decisive campaign to strengthen the GMP International Union �nances. They have shown a determination to protect the various funds of the International Union, with a high caliber and diversi�ed portfolio of invest-ments in the General Fund, the Death Bene�ciary Fund, the Security Fund, the Conference Fund, the GMP Memorial Scholarship Fund and the Convention Fund. These �nancial decisions and other cost-saving measures are balanced by an equally energetic com-mitment to service to members, and we applaud their efforts.

April 28th is the official Worker’s Memorial Day in about 80 countries, with the United States and Canada recognizing the day. The AFL-CIO and the CLC along with The International Confederation of Free Trade have adopted the day as the day known to be Worker’s Memorial Day.

Both countries have laws that provide American and Canadian workers the right to a safe workplace. These protections were campaigned for by labor in both countries and the efforts of countless brave men and women have resulted in protections for workers securing safe working conditions. Through the tireless efforts of organized labor, workers have a safe workplace to go to, they have a voice if they see a condition that maybe unsafe and a mechanism to resolve unsafe conditions.

As April 28th nears we are reminded of our past and the need to continue the struggle for our rights to a safe workplace as well as our fight to fair wages. We will never let up on the never ending fight to ensure the safety of workers. We remember our fallen brothers and sisters who have lost their lives but vow that they are not forgotten and they may rest well knowing that labor in the United States and Canada have learned from their sacrifices and strive daily to ensure that it does not happen again.

April 28th the Official Memorial Day for Workers

On April 28th

• Organize take part in a rally to demand safe jobs in the community.

• Hold or attend a candlelight vigil, memorial service or moment of silence in honor of those who have died on the job.

• Create a memorial with the Local Union, Labor Council or any other partner of Labor in the community recognizing any worker who gave their life on the job.

• Distribute flyers to educate the public on April 28th Worker’s Memorial Day and its significance.

• Contact your government representative to ensure the support of Worker’s Memorial Day so as to ensure that it may never be repealed.
