stressed an appeal fm unity "nd a\l-
Out efforts by the affilia tes in org.,-
nizing all unorgaruzed construction
workers.
President Georgine told delegates,
U A the Convention prepares poli-
cies and programs for the coming
ycarR, all craft.. Il111Rt combat those
forces which would like to play one
trade against a nother, conquer by
dtvi ion, and offer 'special deals.' This
wtll require our unity of purpo e and
action, a unity which must also ex-
te nd to every local building trades
council, which must work togethe r. "
In addition to developing mem -
bership invoJvenlent in unions, Pres-
ident Georgine said it is imperative
that the men and women in the
buildlng trades actlvely participate
in politics 'lIld grass-roots lobbying.
Cains at the hargaiTling tahl e ran be
Inst in the polItical arena unless Il'CTe
is aeLi ve invo lvement of ullIon mem-
bers.
AFL-CIO President Lane Kirkland,
in his remarks, praised the building
trades Ullion for their efforts made
on behalf of the Federation'S legis-
laLive battles and called for the del -
egates to continue the fight against
" hnstile employers, hostile COllrt. ,
ho t ile legislatures and hostile
administrations."
Sharing the blame for the troLlblcs
fa cing bullding and construction
trades workers, he said, is the n·
tion31 Labor Relations Board. "The
NLR.B IS packed with radical con-
scrvauves who interpret the nation's
basic labor law as a weapon to frus-
trate organizing, discourage collec-
tive bargalrung, and delay and deny
justice to workers who seek redress
