Med Center's Local 1132 Approved
The first memorandum of agreement between a new union for service and support employees at the University Medical Center administration, was approved by the Board of Regents, last week, Russell Miller, a administrative negotiator, said yesterday.
Miller said the agreement was, in essence, a contract, but under a state law must be called a memorandum of understanding. He had been negotiated for six months, he said.
The new union, Local 1323 of the AFL-CIO, is a group of state employees that was allowed to form a union under a state law, the Public Employee Relations Statute. That law became effective March 1, 1972, Miller said. The union represents about 400 employees and consists of service and support workers such as housekeepers and
maintenance personnel at the Medical Center. he said.
Prior to the enactment of the state law,
state employees weren't able to form
employers.
The memorandum of agreement covers much of what state provisions already grievance procedures and sick leave, he said.
Miller said the Med Center group formed a union to have a stronger voice in rules and other issues. The memorandum of unrest included the use of no-strike clause to meet state requirements.
Some provisions of the agreement will require either approval by the state legislature or changes by the State Finance Council. Miller said. One provision would allow the state to withhold union dues from members' paychecks, which is currently against state law.

Another provision requiring approval would allow paychecks to be issued every two weeks instead of the current pay schedule of twice a month, Miller said.
Other minor provisions of the agreement which must be approved include workman's liability for damages arising from injuries.
Miller said union members weren't close
to striking during negotiations, although some members were impatient with the length of the negotiations. He said if the members had struck, and if all employees affected would have participated in the strike, the Med Center could have been mobilized. No one knows how widespread the strike participation might have been, he said.

"But I know I can. I know I can, I'm discrete." said he.
"Aw, they ong! they replied."
Once upon a time there was a little quad system who had good power and a really fine sound. But he cost only $400, so no one believed him.
"I'm not only AM, I'm FM, too — with AFC!" he exclaimed. "I know I can."
"Oh. pshaw." they scoffed.
"But, look! My integrated amp has 4 sliding volume controls! And I have a built-in quad 8-track tape player! I know I can . . .!"
"Oh, sure." they guffawed.
"And see, I have a quad auxiliary input jack, a remote balancer jack and a headphone jack. I know I can, I know..."
"Yeah?" they said.
"And my full-sized automatic record changer has a built-in CD-4 demodulator, cue control and anti-skate
device. I know I can. I know I can."
"Far out," said some. (Some said "Not Near!")
"And look at my handsome walnut speaker cabinets—each one encloses a hefty 6½” air suspension speaker. And I’m Panasonic. You know I can. You know I can. Let me play you something. I know I can. I know I can."
"OK," they fairly shouted. And the little Quad that could blew their minds. (Thereby proving he could.) And they decided that at a price like $400 they could. Which they did.
"I knew I could, I knew I could, I knew I quad," said the little Quad (who could).
