9—The Daily Collegian Thursday, Sept. 20, 1979 PLRB reviews police union case By PAUL. SUNYAK Daily Collegian Staff Writer The legal staff of the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board is reviewing the University Police Services officers' unionization case, but no date has been set for oral argument before the board the next formal step to resolve the issue. At issue is whether the officers should be allowed to unionize under Act 111, primarily a poke and fire protection act that does not permit strikes but man dates binding arbitration in contract disputes; or under Act 195, a public employees bargaining act that allows strikes but has no binding arbitration provision. Both the University, which favors Act Zimbabwe rejects British 'white' proposition LONDON ( UPI ) •-••• Britain has proposed that 20 percent of the seats in the parliament of an independent Zimbabwe be reserved for whites, but the Patriotic Front guerrillas rejected the proposal, a Front spokesman said yesterday. The spokesman, Edison Zvobgo, said, "We reiterated our opposition to enshrining racial principles in the constitution," he said. A British spokesman refused to confirm making the proposal. The dispute came amid .reports from the Salisbury government, which has waged a ‘ seven-year war with the guerrillas, of progress in separate talks with Britain I oward a new proposed constitution.

Rap poport, assistant attorney general for the Commonwealth, said. "There are problem areas, such as defining which policemen will be covered and who their bargaining unit should be, thatour legal staff must work out before presenting the case to the board," Rappoport said. He said the three-member board will eventually issue either a "nisi order of certification" in favor of the police officers or a "nisi order of dismissal" in favor of the University. Each side has twenty days to file RECEIVE Foreign Secretary Lord Carrington held' separate talks Wednesday, first with the . Salisbury government delegation of Abel Muzorewa and then with Patriotic Front leaders Joshua Nkomo and Robert Mugabe. The separate talks were called in a bid to save the Zimbabwe Rhodesian conference from foundering Dver disagreements on a constitution for the new state. Conference spokesman Nicholas Fenn said they will continue Thursday. A Salisbury government spokesman, Foreign Minister David Mukome, said "very encouraging progress" was made in the talks with his delegation on a new constitution.

In the event either side files ex ceptions, an oral argument will be made before the final recommendation, he said. ' "An oral argument is a last crack at it, an attempt to exhaust all PLRB remedies," Rappoport said.

"We don't think Act 111 was designed to cover them as employees or us as employers," Donbaugh said. Robert C.

"We feel we have to have a situation. where we can't strike," Bennett said.

Technically, the defeat could result in a 12.9 percent pay increase the amount that will automatically go into effect Oct. 1 unless Congress acts to change it. . But since most members were reluctant to vote for even the 7 per cent hike, it wis'considered unlikely they would allow the higher salary to go into effect. House leaders quickly began mane6vering for a new try at resolving the politically painful issue. The 7 percenf ; si?lption would have provided Congress members an in crease from $57;500 to $61,525 a year, their first raise since . 1977. It was attached to a continuing resolution needed to provide funds for several agencies whose budgets have not yet been approved. The resolution was defeated 219 •to 191.

(AP ) Unemployed glassworkers yesterday began filing applications for their, old jobs after a nine-month struggle to buy the factory ASG Industries closed last December. "We stuck in there and it paid off," said Ron Herman, local president of the American Federation of Glass and Ceramic Workers. "We're quite sure that it will work out." , Herman, one of about 350 other former ASG em ployees expected to be rehired at the sprawling plant to be renamed the Jeannette Sheet Glass Corp., said some workers could be back on the job next month. "As far as I know it's the first wholly-owned em ployee stock ownership plan in Pennsylvania the first plant being purchased and operated by its workers," said Ron Makoski, a lawyer who helped organize the purchase. Makoski said the federal Economic Development Administration has indicated it will guarantee a $2.8 million loan from Pittsburgh National Bank for pur- Greeks go rocking for charity The sixth annual Rockathon to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foun dation gets underway today at noon.

Va. Other funds promised for the purchase and operation of the 32-acre plant site include $720,000 from the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority and $680,000 from the workers about $2,000 apiece, Makoski said. "It's going to be operated by the employees. They all have to invest to get back to work, but we're all going to have shares," said Clara Mangieri, an ASG employee for 34 years. The employees hope to close the deal in mid-October. Then they have to clean up the plant and rebuild its brick furnace, which now holds 12 feet 'of hardened glass. "It's really exciting," said Mangieri, whose husband also worked at the plant. "Everybody will be looking at us. But I know we can do it. It means all working together." The plant will be_ non-union when it reopens, but Herman said the workers are eager and serious. "They corner of Shortlidge Road and West College Avenue below Atherton Hall.

"They can't play around. You can't strike yourself." Jeannette, a closely knit Westmoreland County community of about 15,000, was founded nearly a century ago by glassmakers who valued the area's clean sand and abundant natural gas. Before it closed, the ASG plant was the only U.S. factory producing micro-glass, a paper-thin product often used in hospital laboratories. But its main product was window glass. "Historically speaking, we can gross 255 tons of glass a day," said Mangieri. "We cut it to size. We make the containers for it. We pack it and we ship it." But ASG apparently felt the plant's 50-year-old method of glass manufacturing was obsolete. and repeatedly laid off workers before finally closing down. Even then, Makoski believes ASG made a profit and predicts Jeannette Sheet Glass will do well. A distributor has already promised to buy 85 percent of its production. ~~T.t ` ,yl ~ ~ Y J ' • .• : • i ,'•,i§) • v .f 00119 1 db. . t 4.c.* • • ;• • i ' ;--.,:; .;1 04. —A final plan of the Orchard Park Village subdivision. —A site plan for modification of / the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Store in the University Plaza Shopping Center on Hamiltion Avenue. —Vacating a portion of East Fair mount Avenue from Glenn Alley to Keller Street. —Consider a request by William Coleman to put photographers on the professional list for office use in a residential district. ... ~'_ 1 •
