They replace bearings, gears, belts, switches and wiring. To speed repairs they often refer to ser vice manuals and wiring diagrams.

In addition, they keep records of their work and the time spent on each job. Union technicians perform clearly defined and limited tasks. In communities where unions are not very active, technicians can make full use of their abilities and do whatever job suits their employer's needs. Pluses: Training is relatively Dear Joyce I'll graduate from high school this year and want to find regular employment in some kind of repair work. I'm good at fixing electrical things around the house and am thinking of going into appliance repair.

How do I begin? W.L., Scranton, Penn. The winds of economic change barely ruffle the appliance-repair business. People still blow-dry their hair, machine-wash' their ultra-suede and call the repair shop when their mechanical servants break down. Taking your first steps can be as simple as building up a high school foundation of studies in math, science and shop courses and getting part-time work in an appliance store. For broad opportunities you'll need further training the kind you can get in technical schools offering programs in electronic, electrical and machine technologies.

Home study courses are available, too. If you find work with a manufacturer or distributor, you may get free instruction. Electrical appliance technicians perform fix-it jobs for small and large repair shops, retail stores, appliance factories and utility companies. They may also go directly to a home or business and make repairs on the spot if the appliance is too large to con- venientlymove. These technicians use a variety exhausts their capital whereas workers merely shift from one bankrupt factory to another that is booming.

"It is high time that a 3-way contract was made involving union workers, management and a "Thus, if Congress can now legislate a minimum wage of $3.65 per hour for workers, let it meanwhile set a minmum dividend for stockholders, plus a minmum salary for management! "Suppose at the worker's $3.65 minimum, the stockholder minimum dividend were put at 8 and management's salary minimum at $20,000 annually. "Then, if. the factory or corporation made enough more money in 1982, in contast to 1981, to permit a 10 overall raise to all 3 parties, let all 3 benefit. "But if earnings didn't enable paying such minimums, then all 3 parties should take the same percentage cuts to keep the company in business! "At present, owners are asked to forego their dividends, though workers and management still inist on their full minimum in a losing business! "Dr. Crane, isn't this unfairness driving America out of world competition with Japan and West Germany, plus many other countries, like Taiwan?" CASE A-746: Dr.

Smith, age 56, is a patriotic dental surgeon. "Dr. Crane," he began, "I am now old enough to be worrying over the type of government my grandchildren will have. "So it grieves me to see the ignorance of the average American regarding economics and business dividends. "For example, why don't the labor union bosses wake up to the trend toward socialism in American business? "They are making intolerable demands on corporations, which are totally unfair to the owners, who are the stockholders.

"For when management labor contracts are written, the unions seem totally oblivious of the meager returns to the real owners of factories, stores and all those 1,800 big corporations listed on the New York Stock Exchange. "Dr. Crane, at our recent dental convention, you pointed out the unbeliveable fact that the owners who are the stockholders, didn't receive even a red cent on their life's earnings invested in those factories or stores and airlines! "And owners take ALL the risks! "For they don't get unemployment checks if their firm goes bankrupt? "Nor can theyoon get jobs with other firms, for bankruptcy right and 10 percent said they have been too strong. After martial law was declared in Poland on Dec. 13, President Reagan announced economic sanctions against both Poland and the Soviet Union.

The sanctions against Poland include suspension of government financial credit for food purchases and cancellation of Polish fishing rights in American waters. The sanctions against the Soviet Union include reduced trade, the suspension of the planned sale of U.S. high technology equipment and denial of U.S. landing rights for the Soviet airline. The other NATO nations in Western Europe, especially West Germany, expressed initial reluctance to go along with the sanctions, but subsequently agreed to consider sanctions.

Critics at home, notably former Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger, have criticized the Reagan administration for not taking more drastic steps, such as ending huge American grain sales to the Soviet Union. NEW YORK (AP) A majority of Americans do not think Western Europe is doing enough to support U.S. economic sanctions imposed against the Soviet Union after martial law was declared in Poland. The latest Associated Press-NBC News poll also said that 7 of 10 Americans believe the Soviet Union has had "a great deal of influence" in declaring and enforcing martial law in Poland, and a plurality jbdieves the U.S.

sanctions against the Soviet Union have not been strong enough. The nationwide telephone poll of 1,597 adults was conducted Jan. 18-19 according to a scientific random sampling. Seventy-two percent said the United States' allies in Western Europe are hot doing enough to support the American sanctions, while 15 percent said they are doing enough and 13 percent were not sure. Forty-nine percent said the economic sanctions the United States has imposed on the Soviet Union because of the events in Poland have not been strong enough.

Forty-one said those sanctions have been about positions may require up to three years' on-job training. The work is steady and the pay's not bad. Salaries often range from $5 to $12 an hour.
