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

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.
