College and Union Must Cooperate The decision of the members of local 67 of the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFL) to negotiate fur ther with the College is a move from which both the employees and the College stand to benefit. A strike would have hurt the College and might have resulted in Penn State being compelled to close. A work stoppage would have hurt the employees too; for a strike works both ways; no work means no monthly pay check. The union has accomplished a good bit of what it set out to do. It has won recognition, in the words of its leaders. It has won an in crease in wages. It has started the ball rolling toward the "establishment of a well-understood system of wage classification" and "a demo cratically operated efficiency rating system." According to figures released by the College from Jan. 1, 1946, to February 1951, wages for service employees rose 16.7 per cent. During the period from March 1, 1951, to February, 1952, the same figures show, salaries have increased 20 per cent on the average. In the eyes of the union there still remain to •be settled five points which the union feels stand in the way of complete agreement. None of them should prove to be insurmountable. They will not prove to be insurmountable if both sides sit down in an atmosphere of com promise and give-and-take. . • Collective bargaining in the American in dustrial picture has more often than not been marked by unions asking for more than they hoped to get and employers offering less than they would eventually have to yield. The out come has almost always fallen somewhere between the demands of the two factions, the side with the greatest bargaining power be ing able to achieve a larger percentage of its goals. In the case of a public institution of a non profit nature such as Penn State', collective bar gaining procedures are somewhat changed. The College is not in business to make a profit. Every dollar the College receives as income, either from fees or by state or federal 'grants, is spent. There is nothing left in the tills at the 'end of.the year for a dividend for the stockholders. Penn State being a public institution, both the College and the union have a' duty to the people of Pennsylvania. That 'duty calls for smooth and efficient operation of the state's largest educational institution. Both the College and the union, now that the latter is vested with some degree of power, have a public trust and responsibility. That re sponsibility demands that an equitable solution Services Your Bank Offers You FIRST NATIONAL BANE Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation State C01164e Checking accounts Savings accounts Safe deposit vault Trust department Member Pennsylvania THE• DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA of the remaining problems be achieved. • - . We have confidence in the willingness of the College to deal with the problem justly. We hope that the union will accept its new found power with the same responsibility fo the people of Pennsylvania. Safety Valve Students Have 'Solution' To College Wage Problem , TO THE EDITOR: May several students who have lived in College dormitories for 'three years give the College officials' a little hint?• We believe we have found a way in which the salaries of the service employees could be raised; but the budget for paying these salaries remain the same. Why not just visit any of the dorms at any time during the day and notice how many of the employees find it possible to sit down and entertain themselves while their work waits? Possibly the College could release several of these employees. Their salaries could be used to take care of the wage boost for . the rest that their union is asking for. Gazette ...
