Single copies and bulk quantities are both available at no charge. : At Dallas By PAMELA AARON Staff Correspondent For the 11th time since the P.S.S.P.A. (Pennsylvania School Service Personnel Association) began negotia- tions on its 1985 contract, a special meeting, held last Thursday with the Dallas School Board, ended with no settlements. No definite response from the board was issued as to their next arbitration date. Two subdivisions exist in the union — that of the janitorial personnel and that of the cafeteria person- nel. The former is contracted for by the school board personally, the latter is contracted for by the A.R.A. Management Corporation, the company hired by the board to run the school lunch program. Both sectors of the union are united, however, in their claims of discrimination and unfair labor practices. The janitorial group, which met this past Thursday, is headed by Louis Bobeck who summed up the proceedings of the meeting by stating, “The board didn’t come across’. The cafeteria workers were first notified of their hour changes in August of last year. In protest, they attended the September meeting of the school board and asked the board to help them in their negotiations. At that time, Attorney Ben Jones stated that should a letter be issued to that effect to the A.R.A. the board would meet with the union and the A.R.A. in an effort to resolve the crisis. Later, the board declined to meet with the two parties. The next meeting will be held on Friday, January 25. Both factions have had to resort to the enlistment of a state mediator, as the union, at present, has been operating without a contract for over a year in the case of the janitorial staff. One source, who claims familiarity with the A.R.A. workings, insists the cutbacks are A.R.A.’s easiest way to hedge out of the 1984 deficit budget and that the company concerns itself more with its profit. than its people. The actual deficit, however, when viewed longterm, may not justify such cutbacks. Sandra Vidlicka, business manager, for example, states that in the last two years, Dallas school cafeterias, under A.R.A’s management, have come out at least $7,000 ahead. Several inside sources believe a strike is almost certain in the very near future, as negotiations have dragged on so long. Should this happen, A.R.A. would be unable to hire alternate cafeteria personnel. The decision to strike, says Bobeck, ‘Would be up to the rank and file of the union members themselves, not me.” 3 % MIDDLE SCHOOL (Grades 6 thru 8) HIGH SCHOOL ENTRANCE TEST FOR 1985-86 SCHOOL YEAR JANUARY 26th, 9 A.M.
