We just want a fair raise and we want our benefits to stay the same." The two sign-carrying union mem- bers gradually gave way to the driver inching a truck out of the loading area. THE SLOWDOWN "doesn't have a significant effect on the day-to-day operations of the hospital," said Assistant Director of Public Infor- mation Joseph Owsley. Murphy said the picket lines at the University Hospital were "standard practices. We're encouraging people to honor our picket lines." University Vice-President for Finan- cial Affairs James Brinkerhoff said "some of our external construction projects (jobs contracted by non- University tradespersons) have been stopped," by the strike. WORK ON HOSPITAL renovations, the law library, and the Taubman medical library has been halted. "Tradesmen on those jobs didn't cross picket lines," Brinkerhoff said. A crew of workers, members of a non- University trade union, stopped repair work on the roof of the University's Church St. parking structure due to the strike, a worker said. University Director of Plant Operations Meindert van der Kooy said, "We will try to take care of as much as possible with supervisory per- sonnel." Foremen would do emergency repairs, according to Dick Darr, manager of the University electric shop. NEGOTIATIONS ENDED with sick leave and the wage hike increment issues unresolved, picketing trades council members said. Union picketers said the union proposed a wage increase of about 9 per cent, with present benefits maintained. The University, they reported, has of- fered pay increases between 4.4 and 7 per cent, depending on the pay grade. Picketers said they were upset because the University wanted to cut back sick leave benefits. "THEY WANT TO take away some of our sick leave," said a union member, holding a sign reading "U of M unfair to skilled trades," outside the Michigan Union. The union membership voted to strike, he said, because "they weren't getting anywhere with negotiations." Several picketers claimed their pay is "way below" that of trades workers doing similar jobs off campus. Murphy said University skilled workers earn an average $3, an hour less than workers of similar classifications in the private sector, despite the fringe benefits provided by the'University. Five years ago, trades council mem- bers went on strike for 28 days. The current strike, Murphy estimated, costs individual workers about $7.50 per hour in lost wages.
