ment and that normal activities
may be resumed at the Center
within a matter of days.
After adopting five of the seven-
point package submitted by the
union, the Center negotiations re-
cessed when the union walked out
over two items—use of volunteers
in the Center program and the right
of the Center to change hours of
work assignments necessitated by
program needs.
Irwin Shaw, executive director
of the Center, denied a charge,
contained In a statement to The
Jewish News on behalf of the
strikers by Mrs. Muriel Hoptman,
that "negotiations had ended"
because the union walked out of
the deliberations on Monday.

Shaw said - that the Center hopes
for and will resume talks as soon
as the union returns to negotiate
again.
Mrs..Hoptman's charge that "the
Center could use volunteers in any
capacity it wished" was counter-
acted by Shaw who explained that
the number of possibilities that
there could be such replacement 1
"is insignificant." He pointed out
that "the whole concept of agencies
like ours is that they function on
the basis of volunteers."
"We should not be expected to
abdicate the basic right to resort
to volunteers," Shaw said. At the
same time he deplored the fear
that was injected over dangers
stemming from volunteer services.
"We have had them for 40 years
and fears that volunteers can re-
place professional and other work-
ers are unwarranted," he said.
Declaring that public agencies
should not be placed in jeopardy
over issues that were previously
easily resolved, Shaw stated that
the matter of changes in time'
schedules in a Center program
often assumes vital proportions.
In this instance, too, he said,
Center time schedules have been
flexible because of the nature of
the agency's program.
While an impase resulted from
the union's walk-out on Monday,
Shaw said "well meet at any time
to help speed an end to the strike."
Shaw especially regretted the
spread of rumors of threats by
Center officials to strikers. "Noth-
ing could be farther from the
truth," he declared.
Shaw expressed the view that
much progress has been made, be-
cause, he emphasized, only three
days of negotiations have been h
until now. In her corn municati
Mrs. Hoptman accused the execu-
tive director and the president of
the Center of aiming at a "hold
over from the last century when
the only unions were company
unions."
