might help guide or coordinate the operations of existing
programs.
Through such consultation, we could take up contro-
versial issues, too, and attempt to reach agreement on
them. But agreement would not be necessary-we could
agree to disagree on some matters.
The point is, and I'd like to emphasize it, we can't ex-
pect that MCAA and the International Union will agree on
everything. But we can expect that both parties will benefit
if there is full and timely discussion of labor relations and
other internal matters prior to the time when organizations
begin lining up on one side or another. I'm sure you will
agree that this is bound to strengthen our relationship.
Meeting Recommended
To make it happen, it is my intention to recommend
that the IU Executive Board invite your top officials, and
those of other contractor organizations with which we
deal, to meet formally with us at least once a year, and
perhaps more often, to review such matters.
I envision a meeting that might last two or three days
and which would be structured to the extent of having a
mutually agreed-on agenda and some preliminary staff
work. At such a planning and action meeting, I am confi-
dent that such a meeting and review can produce more
understanding both of our interests and our differences,
and in doing so will make the masonry industry stronger.
I hope that MCAA will participate fully in such meet-
ings. I know that your Executive Vice President has on
several occasions expressed a need for a general review of
problems and issues with us. I believe a meeting of the
kind I have mentioned would help fill this need.
By making this move toward more general consulta-
tions between you, the principal employers of our mem-
bers, and the IU, we will be pushing our relationship onto
a higher plane. It will, I am confident, enable us not only to
do a better job at the national level, but also to provide
local/regional activities with more and better guidance and
coordination.
You and we share a common general objective: we
want to make the masonry industry better a better place
to work, a better place to do business, a better producer of
buildings.
The opportunity exists for us to take another step to
ward this objective. My hope is that we can take the step
together.
Notable Quotes
HOW TO UNFREEZE THE FUTURE
►What can you and I do about our energy future to keep January 1, 2000, not only from being a cold day in our homes but also from being a chiling harbinger of the future for man and his civilization?
How can we help "unfreeze the future"?...Somehow we'd all like to believe that some wonder of science, some miraculous new use of the sun, some unexpected invention, a little energy conservation (preferably by someone else), or some governmental hokery-pokery will keep coming along to provide us with the labor-saving productivity improvements, the freedom of personal mobility, the national defense strength, and the out-and-out creature comforts to which we have become accustomed....We can all be in favor of optimism-when there's some factual basis for it. But the reality is that if we-as individuals-don't get our energy facts straight right now, and then begin yelling our heads off to tell the hard truth to our friends, neighbors, and especially the people we've elected to serve us, then we're in for a greater calamity by the year 2000 than wars, plagues, pestilence, natural disasters have ever inflicted on this nation. Or, Arthur M. Bueche, Vice President, Research & Development, General Electric Company.
