STATEMENT ON LABOR LAW
REFORM
Civil rights and economic op-
Relations Act guarantees all workers
the right to organize. But for an in-
creasing number of workers that
guarantee has become a fraud. By
exploiting weaknesses in the NLRA,
some employers have successfully -
and profitably —circumvented the
intent of the law. Harrassment of
workers, long election delays, and out-
right refusal to bargain have now
become widely-accepted - but cer-
as an alternative to quotas, proves this.

accept the inescapable facts of our
nation's inherited mind-set and the
ways of doing things
There is no evidence that the mores
(pronounced like “more-axe’*), or
traditional ways of looking at racial
realities, have undergone any sudden
or radical change
Let us not forget that it was just
about 25 years ago - in 1964 - that by a
Supreme Court decree blacks began to
be seen possibly as full "citizens." In
our colleges and universities, some
estimates are that probably 90 per cent
of our nation’s holders of Ph. D.
degrees still have feelings that blacks
are, in some ways, inferior.
In an altogether defensive manner,
blacks fail to "barge into" the
backroom and other social and political
arrangements which would end their
racial isolation "
The hard, simple truth is that • * in
both the inherited black mindset and
in the inherited white mind-set- blacks
are considered outsiders.
Just who is to blame is left to
available because of'the fear of black anybody's guess But I would put my
rebellions in the 1960a, to whom did the
jobs go? Heading the lists were the
sons and daughters of members of the
Congress. ’ ' "
This is not to condemn or label or to Blacks need specialized or equitable

long-standing inequities of the past as
well as those of th* present Covert
discriminiation - - not covered by the
The following statement was
released today by Willie Mae Reid.
Chairman of the Socialist Workers
National Campaign Committee:
Regardless of how any current "full
mployment’’ measures by the
Congress or by presidential executive
order may be administered, it should
be clear by now to all that any "simple
employment remedy" will not get at
the underlying problems of black adult
or black youth unemployment."
The essential problem is not one of
"jobs." It is a racial problem, with
roots deeply embedded in the historical
fabric and expense of our nation's life.
Unless black unemployment - which
has been well into the Great Depression
levels for several years now - is dealt
with tn terms other than as private or
public sector economics, the problems
will remain and will almost certainly
continue to.
In the end. with our present mis-
definitions of the unemployment issue
facing black Americans, we shall be
faced with no less than continuing
frostration and - who knows? -
perhaps even a national conflagration

Because of these unfortunate trends, it
is necessary to strengthen our labor
laws, and thereby reinforce the right of
every worker to freely accept or reject
