the proposed contract.j
"There is no way an honest1
union member can say this is
a good settlement," Block said
in a flyer distributed to work-
ers.
AFSCME originally sought a
$1.04 wage increase over a,
three-year contract, increased'
cost of living payments, pay-
ment of unused sick time, ex-'
pansion of health insurance and;
other benefits.
THE LEADER of the unionI
bargaining team, Art Anderson,
said he got 'the best settlement j
possible.
"He (Block) says we should'
have gotten more, Anderson
said. "But you can always sit I1
out there when you aren't at
the table and say 'I could have
gotten more.' It's very easy to
say afterwards, but it's a dif- 1
ferent ball game at the table."
"I'm very optimistic that the
membership will ratify the con- l
tract," Anderson added.
HE SAID the University had'
taken a "hard line" on the wage'
issue and "they are not going1

"The plan has changed very
little - and certainly not in the
direction of those who spoke
out," Schrodt said. "The major
issue is the almost complete
lack of response of the Planning
Commission to an overwlielm-
ing response of the community.
"The Planning Commission
has to respond to the people who
came out and spoke. They have
to respond to the visible public,"
he added.
WICKLIFFE ALSO said the
"visible public" was being ig-
nored.
"We feel that planning staff
has not included some of the
s-ggestions they got," she said.
"They have not changed the
plans. A number of people from
a number of groups offered sug-
gestions which were not includ-,
ed into the plans."
Committee Chairman Holmes
said the community is being re-
sponded to, however.
"Their words do not go un-
heard, I can assure you," he
said. "PlanningCommission is
responsible for 108,000 people.
We feel we are responding. We
are not recommending that we
go out and widen streets. Plan-
ning Commission is studying
possible problems to be ready
with solutions when the time
comes."
