Representatives of the International Brother
hood of Teamsters and a committee of 25 Univer
sity technical and service employees decided' yes
terday to make 1•l demands of the University at
the first session of contract negotiations Wednes
day.
The demands will include a substantial pay
raise, a Idecrease in the amount employees must
pay for life and hospitalization insurance, in
creased pay rates for night work, a study of job
classifications and longer vacations.
The (Teamsters' attorney Jerome H. Gerber
of Harrisburg requested that specific Teamster
propoSal4,not be revealed so the employees' nego
tiating psition would not be damaged.
High Demands
Most-of the employees' demands will be high,
and purposely so, Gerber said. He; explained that
collective bargaining involves much compromise.
"Our demands will be high, but theirs (the Uni
versity's) will be so ridiculously low thlt

The!, maid' concern of the 25 employees Was

"Visitation, the Senate, discipline, the

The study also produces clear-cut
proof that young vocational graduates too
often seem to take anything that comes
along, rather than seeking out jobs where
they can find outlets for their interests .
and abilities. ;
The solution, states the report, lies in
the efforts of school, officials to make
every! attempt to coordinate community
action toward the best placement of young
workers. i
"The primary method used ;by most
gradukes in seeking employMent was by
direct application or other personal
methods, revealing the tendency to find
jobs in a rather disorganized fashion,"
the report' notes. "Although vocational

Reclassified Jobs
Each job type is classified according to the
amount of skill involved ' and many - employees
complained that the University has often made
pay raises worthless by reclassifying, the, job in
volved. "They, can give you a pay raise and then
make it mean I nothing by juggling 'your classi

that the classification of jobs be dope by an im
partial third party.
Gerber urged the employees not to place too

may be able to secure concession equal in, value
by decreasing Ithe amount of money employees
must pay for life and hospitalization insurance.
The employees) at this time pay half the cost of
these benefits, the University supplying the ,rest.
The union ;will also propose the creation of a
"shift differential," whereby night workers would
receive an increased pay rate. •
Few Objections
Few objections Were raised on the number of
holidays employees receive. The union will nego
tiate for an increase in time off due to death in
the family.
The union will also negotiate for one Minting
holiday'? per Year. "If Thanksgiving falls on a
Tuesday," Gerber said, "the vacation , day will be
switched to Monday" in order to give tthe em
ployees a longer ,vacation.

Emphisizes Negroes, Girls
Special emph...sis in the report is
placed on the problem areas dealing with
vocational education programs for Ne
grdes and girls, both of whom seem to
suffer particular discrimination from out
moded theories and prejudices.
Despite equal opportunity in prepara
tion, today's Negores land very few jobs
they want or have been trained for, corn:
pared to their white counterparts.
"The data strongly suggest that trin
ing, per se is not a sufficient condition
for equality lof opportunity," the study
claims. The Negro graduate of the voca
tional curriculum is portrayed as one
who does not realize the same' , experi
ences as his white counterpart, but who
finds himself "better-off" 'than._ the non
vocationally trained Negro. ' -
Girls on the other hand are shackled
by the antiquated stereotypes and cultural
conditioning which these patterns have
produced:
"Society tells its young girls they are
not capable of obtaining or holding jobs
worker to reach the maximum pay rate. For un
skilled workers, this time period is unduly long
and:should be decreased, Dixon said.
. Dixon - has also received numerous complaints
that' those employees with seniority too often are
not awarded unfilled: higher paying jobs. Gerber
agreed to argue that, "seniority should be given
more consideration than it is now." but reminded
the employees that 'competence also must 'play a
part' in the distribution of promotions.
Safety Clause
The contract proposed by the union will also
include "a safety and comfort clause," guarantee
ing the employees maximum safety standards in
all dangerous jobs. I
Gerber told the 125 employees that he "wishes

going to ask for a contract between the Univer
sity 'and the union;( we don't want any books."
(He held up a book of University regulations.)
Gerber said the union will negotiate - for a
union shop. Under al union shop, he said, all 1,800
employees would be required to join the! union
within 30 days or be fired. He said he wilU accept
no less than an agency shop, where employees
