LuganoStzerland TEST PREPARATION SPECIALISTS SINCE 1938 (Continued from Page 1) But at the end of January, the teams still had not discussed the economics of a new con- tract, and negotiators were be- coming entangled in revising employe promotion, transfer procedures, and other non-eco- nomic issues. On February 7, University and union bargainers sat down for the first time with a state- appointed mediator in hopes of speeding up progress. BY THIS TIME, the mood around the bargaining table had begun to change. Anderson abandoned his op- timism and warned that nego- tsations were "going to have to pick up considerably if we're going to be done by the dead- line." "There is no way the union will extend the negotiation dead- line after February 15," Ander- son added on February 7. AFSCME'S original proposal called for a $1.04 per hour wage increase over three years, the removal of a University "cap" on cost of living payments, and other economic benefits. When the University first re- sponded to AFSCME's wage pro- posals on February 8, the union termed the counter-proposals "unacceptable" and began prep- arations for a strike. Negotiators finally resolved the key non-economic issue - promotions - which had block- ed progress in their talks. But with only three days left be- fore the deadline, they were just beginning serious discussion of wages and benefits. BOTH SIDES announced their renewed optimism for a swift settlement on remaining eco- nomic issues, since non-econom- ics were out of the way. Ander- son said he did not see a strike materializing. It was the bargaining team's optimism which prevented AFSCME members from voting for a walkout effective at mid- night, February 15. Instead, at the team's urging, union em- ployes gave bargainers the pow- er to negotiate as long as they felt necessary. That decision was made 'at a mass union meeting on Sunday, February 13. Three days later, with the aid of the mediator, the University 'and AFSCME walked away from the bargaining table with a ten- tative agreement on a new con- tract. THE SETTLEMENT provided a 55 cent per hour wage in- crease over a two-year contract, or roughly a five per cent raise. The union had originally asked' for a 15 per cent raise. The proposed contract was placed in jeopardy almost im- mediately because of a split ill AFSCME leadership over whether members should ratify it. LAST TUESDAY, union men- bers overwhelmingly rejected1 the tentative agreement and vot- ed to strike. At membership meetings be- fore ratification was rejected, union employes expressed their outrage, not over non-economic issues which took weeks to re- solve, but on wages and bene- fits which negotiators spent only a few drays discussing. In spite of the current walk- out, either side can seek re- newed discussiions at any time.

GOODMAN, a University pro- fessor of public health, is also the director of the University's Opportunity Program-a branch instrumental in supplying finan- cial aid to minority students. Voicing the same concerns as those of Wheeler, Goodman said, "The essential thing in politics is for us to first register to vote, then start to deal with the politi- cal process as we expect the of- ficers we elect to do." Goodman also speculated on the role blacks currently play in the political process. "When you represent a back- ground that really has had no effect on the system, the people tend to become complacent see- ing one or two black represen- tatives," he said. "The public is right now engrossed in their own world." Goodman explained this was due in part to the fact that there is no mechanized sys- tem that allows for constant feedback from voters to admin- istrators.
