Relations between the Univer-
sity and Local 1583 of the
American Federation of State,
County and Municipal Employes
(AFSCME) are heading towards
a "collision," says Charles Mc-
Cracken, president of the 2,600
member local.
McCracken explains that Uni-
versity - AFSCME relations are
deteriorating, charging that the
University treats the union high-
handedly, and blandly dismisses
union protests.
"Sometimes I think they think
we're stupid," McCracken com-
ments, concerning his major
grievance-that the University
by-passes the union on key
issues.
He complained that the Uni-
versity skirts necessary direct
discussions with the union by
overusing the arbitration proce-
dure,
Three disagreements stand out
between union leadership and
the University administration.
McCracken and other union
officials have strongly objected
to the University's substitution
of a 30-minute unpaid lunch
break for a 20-minute paid lunch
break for about 200 custodians.
He charges that the switch
was made without warning and
constitutes unfair labor practice,
He also charges that many
workers deserve overtime pay
since they continued taking 20-
minute lunch breaks until Aug-
ust, not having heard of the
changes that officially took place
in June.

igan Employment Relations
Commission recommended to the

commission last week that an
official complaint filed on the
lunch break issue should be dis-
missed.
McCracken says he will prob-
ably appeal or seek outside ar-
bitration on the issue and also
plans to send a union representa-
tive to the Regents.
A second grievance involves
hiring for newly opened non-
academic positions. McCracken
contends that according to the
AFSCME contract the Univer-
sity is obliged to fill it with the
most qualified union member
when such a position becomes
available.
Instead, McCracken asserts,
the University has been import-
ing people from the outside
whom it deems more qualified
This undermines the union, he
adds, making it difficult for
AFSCME members to be pro-
moted.
James Thiry, University man-
ager of employe-union relations,
has declined to comment on
McCracken's charge.
McCracken also says that
chief stewards and other elected
union officials are promised ten-
ure in the district they repre-
sent but the University hasroften
considered transferring officials
and defying the contract.
Thiry responds, however, that
he knows of only one such case.
McCracken also dcries what
he considers the lack of com-
munication between the Univer-
sity and the union. AFSCMF
members have filed over 900
grievances since February when
there was a two-day work stop-
age.
Thiry, however, contends that
communication b e t w e e n the
University and the union has
been "excellent" and is becom-
ing more constructive all the
time. He says the two talk on
a daily basis with very few prob-
lems.
AFSCME members voted in
July to consider at their Sept.
26 meeting a strike if "proper
action" is not taken on a nuni-
be rof grievances.
A random sample of 15 AFS-
CME members, however, did not
reveal as much concern with
the treatment workers have re-
ceived from the University.
While most complained of low
wages and relocations after sick
leave from tenured positions,
none cited any grievances they
felt were serious enough to pro-
voke a strike.

Sign 'ordinance
to be cleared
(Continued from Page 3)
Lax. Lorencen commented that
although Mahinske did say the
ordinance was legally adopted, it
is unclear whether he will ac-
tually lift the restraining order.
Mahinske has made no ruling on
the constitutionality of the new
law itself.
When Mahinske quashed a 1966
sign ordinance, starting a five'
year legal struggle, one of his rea-
sons was that the city had not
followed the proper steps in get-
ting it adopted.
However, Mahinske also con-
tended that the 1966 ordinance
was not related to public health,
safety, morals or welfare, and
that it was restroactive and would
have involved taking down signs
already on display.
The city has been in the pro-
cess of appealing the 1966 de-
cision for almost five years. Last
March another ordinance was
passed, but Mahinske also de-
clared it unconstitutional.
The August ordinance, which is
somewhat weaker than its 1966
counterpart, and has omitted the
retroactive clause, was developed
as a "stop-gap" measure while the
1966 case moves through the court
system.

(NAG), which sponsored the
demonstration, said her people
would be back to shut down the
plant's afternoon shift.
"I knew we could do it," she
said after the plant was closed.
About 6,000 day shift workers
were idled by the protest.
Workers who showed up on
time for the first shift will re-
ceive four hours "show up" pay,
Fisher plant manager Al F. Platt
said. Others will lose a full day's
pay.
NAG called the demonstration
against GM, its attorney L.
Brooks Patterson said, to dem-
onstrate that, "we haven't lost
our political clout."
McCabe said she hoped that
by shutting down a GM facility,
her group could force GM to
give political support to the bus-
ing foes.

idents to obey the court's busing
order and to make their fight

ficials indicated there would be

Further, she says, "The most
important point about this bill is
it would not coerce anyone who
doesn't want an abortion to have
one. But under the present laws,
people don't have a choice."
Wood says the bill is backed by
Sen. Gilbert Bursley (R-Ann Ar-
bor) and various local groups, in-
cluding both major p oli ti c a l
parties, Human Rights - Radical
Independent Party, Planned Par-
enthood and numerous churches.

at such great length--and did
not have to give RISC photo-
graphs of the conference.
"I t h i n k photography,"
Taylor replied, "a person's face,
is public record."
Taylor did not take the pho-
tographs he submitted and re-
fuses to say where he obtained
them.
"I consider the recall effort
an attempt to repress my right
of free speech - direct repres-
sion," Taylor said.
Further, he labeled the drive
a "blatant attempt by the com-
mittee to steal my SGC seat for
their own as yet undeclared
purposes."
Bob Black, '73, head of the re-
call committee, said that all
ten members of his group do
not belong to Jpolitical groups
and are not associated with
SGC and "have no intention to
run for SGC." -
It will require a 60 per cent
vote to remove Taylor from his
seat.
Taylor, however, may leave
SGC on his own accord before
the question lands on the bal-
lot.
"I'm reconsidering my de-
cision to remain on SGC," Tay-
lor said late yesterday."
