P*Z SE TWO
Union Confers
With University
Representatives of the University maintenance union met with
University officials yesterday to discuss the wage classification plan
offered by the University-
Representing the union were Kenneth Dixon, president; Harry
Mingle, vice president; and Thomas Hartswick, treasurer. Attending
the meeting for the University
were Ray T. Fortunato, coordi
nator of labor relations, and John
Butler, training coordinator.
According to Dixon, the union
objects to the plan because “a
worker has no assurance he will
get into the higher wage classi
fication brackets.”
Divided Into Six Brackets
According to Dixon, the wage
classification plan is divided in
to six brackets: hiring rate, mini-'
.mum, lower intermediate, going
rate, upper intermediate, and
maximum.
Dixon interpreted the plan as
follows:
A worker is hired at the hiring
rate. After a period of three
months, he is either moved to
the minimum bracket or dismis
sed. If he is moved to the mini
mum bracket, he advances to the
going rate according to his sem
ority. , , , ,
In order to be advanced into
the upper intermediate or maxi
mum bracket, Dixon said, the
worker must be recommended by
his supervisor.
Termed Incorrect
A University official said last
night "that Dixon’s interpretation
was “not entirely correct,” but
declined further comment on the
matter.
The union claims that is un
fair to require that a worker be
recommended by his supervisor
before advancing to the higher
brHckcts,
The union says the plan ignores
seniority and fair salary increas
es. As an example, they cited a
group of veteran employees whom
they said are getting less money
than some workers employed for
a shorter time.
Meet Again In Future
Dixon said that the union and
the University will meet again
“in the near future,” after a un
ion committee completes the draft
of an alternate wage plan. He
said a committee of 14 union
men was meeting Thursday night
to work on the proposal. The
committee consists of seven mem
bers of the executive board and
seven members from the union
citric 11*06.
The union is also sponsoring
an open political meeting at 8
p.m. tonight in the lOOF Hall,
E. College avenue. Candidates for
state Senate and Assembly from
both the Republican and Demo
cratic Parties will be present to
express their views on union legis
lative proposals.

The Republican candidates are
State Senator A. H. Letzler, and
Assemblyman Preston H. Frost.
Democratic candidates are Jo
Hays, of State College, for state

The union proposals involve
urging further University expan-'
sion, the. construction of dormi
tories, social security, state audit
ing of University accounts, re
vamping the Board of Trustees,
and making public University af
fairs including trustee meetings
and financial records.
