IIAI'lltlNfi l.iw Aneli'sTir the organizing committee at By ISOli BAKER TIMI-S I.AHOR WKITliK laving never been able to organize more than a few thousand of the estimated 90,000 workers in Los Angeles' downtown garment district, the International Ladies Garment Workers Union has opened a downtown "drop-in" center that will assist workers-regardless of whether they are members in filing unpaid-wage and overtime claims against sweatshop operators. The effort is part of an embryonic campaign to recruit immigrant workers that is taking place throughout organized labor, most noticeably in Los Angeles. To recruit immigrants, labor is finding that it must break down widespread cynicism and fear by first offering a broad variety of social services to prospective members and then months or years later try to use that base to build organizing drives in plants.

The new center, located in third-floor space rented by the union in a building at 110 E. 15th will be run by three union staff members who will counsel workers on a variety of social problems, said Steve Nutter, the union's regional director. "It's a terrible mess out there," Nutter said at a press conference Thursday inside the center, standing under a large banner proclaiming the center's theme, Consiendo con Dignidad sewing with dignity. The union and state labor investigators contend that the $6-billion-a-year Los Angeles apparel industry requires workers some of them children to toil long hours in unsafe conditions for less The new center is part of what the union calls one of its most ambitious nationwide organizing drives in decades. Similar efforts are being made in Brooklyn, San Francisco, Chicago and L01 Paso, all with a call to "declare war on sweatshop conditions." The drive began last month on the 79th anniversary of the 1911 fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Co.

in Greenwich Village that killed 146 workers and is regarded as a historical spark in the movement for improved industrial safety. Besides trying to boost national membership of the union which has plummeted to 150,000 from 300,000 in the last 10 years the organizing drive will attempt to publicize proposals for tougher enforcement of sweatshops. State legislation introduced by Assemblyman Tom Hayden (D-Santa Monica) last month would make manufacturers jointly liable for any labor abuses committed by the hundreds of smaller businesses that sew their clothing. Among other things, it would protect si mm tm i abcdefgh April 29. 1990 Position 5060: Whito to piny and Wl1 From ttio g.imo Flonr Nikccvich, Rome 1990 Solution to Position 5059: Blnck wins with 1 Qf3, threatnntno 2 Rht mnlo 2 Qd8 Kg6 3 Qg8 Rg A QnG Kh or 3 Qr8 Rf 4 QeG Kg 5 Qxnb Kh, Whito runs out of chocks NATIONAL NEWS Gata Kamsky of New York will be invited to the Interzonal tournament, the next stage in the competition to determine the official challenger for the world championship.

Kamsky, 15, has had a string of successes in international play since he defected from the Soviet Union after the 1989 New York Open. Rafael Tudela, a World Chess Federation official who represents the Americas, has announced that Kamsky will be offered one of two special invitations for players who have not qualified by the usual procedure. Seven players will represent the United States in the Interzonal, tentatively scheduled for this summer. Yasser Seir-awan and Boris Gulko qualify by rating, and four others qualify from their results in the 1989 U.S. Championship in Long Beach.

At a meeting of the U.S. Chess Federation Policy Board last weekend, the USCF decided to hold a 10-player 1990 U.S. Women's Championship. The USCF had considered running a four-player championship, but protests from players and fans helped persuade the Policy Board to stick with the traditional 10-player format.

LOCAL NEWS Yasser Seirawan, publisher of "Inside Chess" magazine and current U.S. co-champion, has begun World Rapid Chess, an organization that will rate performances by U.S. players in Rapid chess tournaments.

Seirawan's organization will confer FIDE ratings on thousands of Americans of all strengths.

The legislation is expected to encounter strong opposition from manufacturers, who say they cannot police the labor practices of the independents who sew for them. Alice Callaghan, director of Las Familias Del Pueblo, a family-assistance group that has operated from a 7th Street storefront since 1987 to aid garment workers, said she welcomes the presence of the drop-in center. "It's a new turn on the union's part," she said. "In a sense it's stepping back, trying to do some groundwork that they have to do if they ever hope to gain the confidence of the workers. You have to work with garment workers on all of their problems eviction, child care not just work problems, because so many of them are living in poverty.

But hostility from employers, a high failure rate among businesses and the transient and vulnerable nature of many employees have undermined organizing drives. It was with these types of problems in mind that the AFL-CIO last year created the California Immigrant Worker Assn. to offer so-called "associate" union membership to immigrants, regardless of where they worked or whether their shops were actually organized.

The association has signed up several thousand Los Angeles members in what it acknowledges is a glacially slow effort to set the stage for organizing drives at individual businesses. In setting up its garment district center, the Garment Workers Union became the first formal "division" of the Immigrant Worker Assn. Workers who drop by the center for advice will eventually be asked to become associate union members. WED. MAY 2 AT P.M.
