Monitored by the workers

Workers’ control over the collective agreement at the Sumy Machine-Building Asso- ciation.

This enterprise is famous for its top-guality equipment for chemical industries. A broad development program has been started here for 1981-85. An important manifestation of this can be found in the collective agreement reached at the gene- ral meeting of the employees. The parties to this collective agreement are the management and the trade union represent- ing the workers. Every worker is interested in the collective ag- reement’s absolute implemen- tation.

How is it achieved in prac- tice? Journalist Mykhailo Bal- tyansky put this question to Petro NOSACHOV, member of the TU monitoring committee, team leader and holder of the State Prize of the USSR.

Says Nosachov: ‘Our union has 14 standing committees. Each of them monitors a certain area of union activity and is responsible for the implementa- tion of separate points of the collective agreement.

‘We've introduced our own system of control, with a com- puter checking the deadlines. Those who procrastinate in their work are issued a. card which must be returned to the union committee with an ex- planation of the matter. If the person responsible continues his behavior, the computer will issue him one more reminder, but this time accompanied by a reprimand’.

individual's responsibility? Answer: Very much so. The asset of this system is that you don’t argue with the computer. It doesn’t compromise and

won't go soft at all sorts of

excuses,

For instance, a breach of the safety rules happened once in the mechanical shop. Nothing serious, fortunately, but a breach is a breach. Anyway, the computer made it clear that the reason for the occurence was the low demand made of su- bortinates by the shop mana- gement. The safety inspection team was also rather lax.

We went through all these points and the computer didn't let us down,

In a short while the people responsible for that occurence were called to a meeting with our committee. A person can be a foreman, a senior foreman, a shop manager or even the manager of the plant, but if he violates a rule, he will be held responsible for his actions.

Q; Have you recorded many such violations?

A: Let me explain first that the number of reprimands doesn't necessarily mean there is the same number of viola- tions. Much of what we’we been pressing can be described as preventive measures. We often urge the managers to introduce new safety precaution schemes more quickly. When those res-

ponsible procrastinate, we sound the alarm which is often followed by reprimands from the union or the management itself,

In this manner our commit- tee displays its resolve and persisitence in pursuing safety, one of the basic points of the collective agreement.

Q: What have been the re- sults of the implementation of the collective agreement over the Tenth Five-Year Plan (1976- 1980}?

A: Oh, that would be a very long list. Let me mention only a few things. The first is that the productive output of our enter- prise has increased by 55 per cent.

The plant has built five day- care centers, three canteens and a recreation lodge for 450 va- cationers, plus a holiday center for 100 on the Black Sea Coast. All in all, our working con- ditions have improved substanti- ally.

Modernization of technolo- gy without detriment to the wor- kers.

More than 10,000 workers in Dnipropetrovsk Region were notified that this year they will give up their places of work to

different automatic control ma-

chines or robots with which the operation lines will be equipp- ed. But that was no surprise to anybody and brought no alarm, for the installation of new technological equipment was envisaged by the collective ag- reements between the trade- union organizations and the administration of the enter- prises. These machines are aim- ed at releasing people from hard labor. What awaits the ‘fired’? ‘These 10,000 workers are

released from hard and unatt- ractive labor in favor of a more productive, creative one. They will not remain jobless’, said head of the District Planning Commision Hryhory Hapo- nenko, ‘Most of them will work at the same enterprises though at a higher grade’.

Now these workers study free of charge at different courses, acquiring new trades in order to operate complex automatic control machines at both the already existing and the newly commissioned enter-

prises. During the period of

Studies the average monthly wages are preserved for them at their former places of work. After they have mastered new trades the administration gua- rantees them higher pay....

Hryhory Haponenko said that this year machines have already replaced workers at places with hard physical work in 23 plants and factories of the region. By the end of the year shops and sections at 72 large industrial enterprises will un- dergo integrated mechaniza- tion.
