Bruce R. SmithINTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT

We have seen it many times. Brave and courageous employees attempt to rectify unacceptable working conditions and/or poor pay and bene�ts by trying to bring union representation into an unrepresented workplace. A common employer response to these organizing efforts is to bring outside third parties in to “bust” the union. These “union busters” are professionals – lawyers and consultants – who write anti-union speeches, distribute anti-union �yers, prepare anti-union videos and assist with captive audience meetings, all of which are intended to dissuade the employees from joining a union. Employers who hire union busters have only one goal in mind – keep the unacceptable working conditions and poor pay and bene�ts in place in order enhance their bottom line.

There is �nally some good news to report on this issue. The Labor Depart-ment just �nalized its new “persuader” rule and the new rule takes effect July 1, 2016. The “persuader” rule will now require third party lawyers and consultants to disclose when they are advising businesses on resisting organizing campaigns. As AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka recently said “This long-awaited rule will increase transparency about employers’ activities when they hire outside third parties to do their union busting.” This is a step in the right direction and we look forward to seeing how the new rule impacts future organizing campaigns.

On March 16, 2016 President Obama nominated Merrick Garland, the Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to �ll the Supreme Court seat vacated by the death of Antonin Scalia. Despite the fact that Judge Garland is widely acknowledged to be eminently quali�ed to serve on the Supreme Court, obstructionists in the Republican Party have steadfastly refused to even meet with Judge Garland, let alone allow a vote on his nomination. The Constitution mandates that the President nominate Supreme Court justices sub-ject to the “advice and consent” of the Senate. The job of the Senate under the Constitution is to consider the nominee of the President and to vote that nominee “up or down”. There are many important issues before the Supreme Court that will impact not only labor but all of us in our daily lives. We need a full allotment of Supreme Court justices to consider the important issues facing our nation. Judge Garland has a long record of outstanding service to our nation and is well-regarded by both Democrats and Republicans as a fair, thoughtful and principled jurist. He deserves full and fair consideration by the Senate and the majority of Americans want to see the Senate vote on Judge Garland’s nomination. Unfortu-nately, the Senate is refusing to do its job. Congress is mired so deeply in partisan politics that it appears incapable of ful�lling its Constitutional duty with respect to this Supreme Court nominee, or, in fact, in doing any of it job responsibilities. Please reach out and tell your Senator to vote on Judge Garland’s nomination.

I am sure that you, like I, have been watching the Republican presidential pri-mary race with great interest. It is quite a spectacle: name-calling, disrespecting the

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF AUDITSTO THE OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF THE GLASS, MOLDERS, POTTERY, PLASTICS & ALLIED WORKERS INTERNATIONAL UNION MEDIA, 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, 2015. The following members of the International Union have been appointed:

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

Alda Barnes, Local Union 108, Cambridge, Ontario Canada

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, 2015. The Board submits the following 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 International Union.

The physical examination of the securities agreed with the International Secretary-Treasurer’s report as of October 31, 2015.

(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 member 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, 2015, the International Of�ce processed and paid 766 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 2015.

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 negotiations 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, 2014 to October 31, 2015 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, 2015.

(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 vocational, 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-seven (27) 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 through the Sixty-Eighth Convention, the Special Merger Convention of 1988, the Sixty-Ninth Convention through the Seventy-Fourth 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-Fifth Convention, which will be held in 2016.

(9) COMMENTS

The Board of Audits �nds that the GMP leadership, International President Bruce R. Smith, International Secretary-Treasurer Claude R. Beaudin, and former International Secretary-Treasurer Don H. Seal, 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 investments 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 commitment to service to members, and we applaud their efforts.

The Board has found the GMP records in a precise, orderly and professional condition. The staff of the International Union has offered every assistance to us in our review of the Union’s �nances.

We are pleased that so many Financial Secretaries and Financial Secretary-Treasurers of the Local Unions comply with the submission of their �nancial reports in a timely manner. We urge everyone charged with these duties to meet their responsibilities.

This report is of importance to every GMP member. We heartily recommend that every GMP member read it and become aware of the �nancial strengths and needs of our International Union.

The Board of Audits �nds that the GMP, its of�cers and staff, has ably met the challenges of our times and looks forward to a future in which these plans bring renewed strength and growth to our great International Union, the Glass, Molders, Pottery, Plastics & Allied Workers.

Respectfully submitted,

spouses of the candidates, calling for building walls to divide us and imposing quarantines based solely on one’s religion. What ever happened to civility? The Institute for Civility in Government has this to say about civility: “Civility is about more than polite-ness, although politeness is a necessary �rst step. It is about disagreeing without disrespect, seeking common ground as a starting point for dialogue about differences, listening past one’s preconcep-tions, and teaching others to do the same. Civility is the hard work of staying present even with those with whom we have deep-rooted and �erce dis-agreements”. The rancor of this year’s republican presidential primary, as well as the inaction of our Congress, is rooted in incivility. Our leaders need to �nd a way past the incivility to �nd common ground and move our nation forward. Our future, and that of our children, depends on it.

According to a study from the January – February 2013 edition of the Harvard Business Review, there is also a price to pay for incivility in the work-place. The data from the study, which interviewed more than 14,000 people in the United State and Canada, revealed that employees are less creative when they feel disrespected, about half deliberately decrease their effort or lower the quality of their work, people are less likely to buy from companies with employees they view as “rude”, almost eighty percent of those impacted by incivility lost time worrying about the incident, two-thirds lost work time by avoiding the offending person, almost three quarters of those interviewed say they lost commit-ment to their organization/employer because of incivility and more than twelve percent left their job because of uncivil treatment.

Incivility is a problem in our politics and a problem in our workplaces. Our politicians, our employers and we as labor leaders need to set a good example. We need to foster a culture of respect and dignity. We need to work together productively to reach common goals and to revitalize our economy and our culture.

Lastly, as we welcome the Spring season, the GMP is preparing for our 75th Quadrennial Convention in August. This Convention will be dedicated to strength-ening our union for decades to come by joining forces with the USW. We have negotiated a unique arrange-ment with the USW which provides for the GMP to continue to service our membership and to grow and prosper within the USW structure. This is a win-win for the GMP and for our members. We look forward to seeing you in Las Vegas in August.

Third, the proposed merger with the USW. As we have discussed in previous issues of Horizons, at the 2015 educational conferences and at various meetings throughout the United States and Canada, the del-egates to the 75th Quadrennial Convention to be held in August 2016 will be asked to approve a proposed merger with the United Steel Workers. The proposed merger is intended to strengthen the GMP and to assure its continued existence. We have a proud his-tory as an industrial union dating back almost 175 years. The proposed merger will give the GMP the strength, resources and ability to continue to serve its membership throughout this century and hopefully well beyond. Through the proposed Merger the GMP will increase its ability to strengthen its voice on the job and win real changes for our working families with increased collective bargaining and legislative power. The proposed Merger Agreement is being distributed to all Local Unions with the Convention Call. We urge all members to read the Agreement to learn about the resources the merger will bring to the GMP and the protections built into the Agreement to assure the continued existence and vitality of your GMP and your Local Union. The proposed Merger document is the blueprint as we Chart our Course for the Future of the GMP and we urge you and your delegates to the Convention to support the proposed merger.

Each of these initiatives is in keeping with our motto to place Our Members First. I look forward to engaging with each of you over the course of this year as we move forward with each of these initiatives.
