The percentage increases of 7
percent-62 percent and 6 percent
annually over a three year period,
approved by members of the Dallas
School Board at the May 13 meeting
of the board, has not yet been
ratified by the non-professional
employees association, according to
John George, chairman of negotia-
tions committee.
“There is a meeting set for June
20 at 3 p.m., in the Dallas Adminis-
tration Building,” said George. “At
that meeting it will be discussed
whether or not the non-professional
employees will accept the contract
as we have submited itto them.”
James Paley, state mediator, and
Gloria Barnecki, negotiator for the
Pennsylvnaia School Service Per-
sonal Association, Dallas, will also
be present at the June 20 meeting.
“The Association is agreeable to
the annual increase approved by the
directors,” said George. ‘‘The only
issue involved in acceptance or non-
acceptance is the wording relative
to terms of disciplinary action.”
Louis Bobeck, president of the
Dallas Association, said that he
believes the contract will be settled
at the June 20 meeting. Bobeck
agreed that the language in the
paragraph concerning disciplinary
action was the only issue involved
but believed it could be clarified at
the meeting between both parties. If
it is settled to the satisfaction of
both parties, Bobeck will take the
contract back to the Association for
ratification.
“If it is not settled, I guess we
will have to go back to the negotiat-
ing table and start over,” said
Bobeck.
The contract has been under nego-
tiation for nearly a year and some
members are getting anxious to
have the entire matter settled.
In a surprise and abrupt ending to
a preliminary hearing before Magis-
trate Leonard Harvey, charges of
rape, statuatory rape, and corrupt-
ing the moral of minors were with-
drawn by prosecutor for the D.A.’s
office, Joseph Albert, against 37-
year-old Robert Kreidler of Harveys
Lake. The man had been accused of
raping a 13-year-old girl last March
and had been remanded to Luzerne
County Prison in lieu of $75,000 bail.
Albert had no choice but to drop
the charges when the young female
testified that what she had pre-
viously alleged had never actually
happened.
“I think I was going into a sei-
zure,” she said, ‘“‘and I was remem-
bering the past.”
Robert. Kreidler told The Dallas
Post, “I am glad she told the
truth.”
Hugging his one-year-old son, he
said, “This is the first time I've
seen him since I was arrested. I
have seen my wife, and she has
been very supportive about this
whole misunderstanding.”
Kreidler said he plans to return
home and resume his job with
Carbon Sales in Miners Mills as
soon as possible.
