KU, GTAs concerned about impasse
Graduate teaching assistants at the University of Kansas will not receive a salary raise this year, and they are not happy about it.
"All we want is equal treatment with other university employees," said Dan Murtaugh, representative for the GTA negotiating team.

The GTAs were denied an allocated 3.5 percent salary increase when the part of the Kansas House appropriations bill containing their increase was stricken in April.
Since the legislative action, the GTAs have requested to meet with University officials to negotiate a salary increase for fiscal year 1996, which would have needed to have been made before the July 1 starting date.
The GTAs voted to be represented by the Kansas Association of Public Employees and the American Federation of Teachers in mid-April. University officials met with the GTAs three times in June and both sides agreed to limit discussion to the single issue of salary increases.
"Looking back, discussing only salaries was a handicap because there was no give and take," said Marc Adin, director of human resources and representative for KU's negotiating team. The negotiations now stand at an impasse.
"We believe the legislative intent was so clear that for the University to give the raises, we would be defying the legislature," Adin said.
Mike Johnson, GTA in English and summer public relations representative for the GTAs, claims the bill would not have passed without assurances by Rep. Ralph Tanner of
Baldwin that Regents institutions still would be able to give the raises from general fund allocations.
"It is difficult to support the position that this was a mandate," Johnson said. "The money initially earmarked for GTAs did not disappear, and the bill would not have passed without Representative Tanner's assurance."
The GTAs, however, were forced to compromise their side and live without the salary increase for now.
It is illegal for them to strike, although they could pursue other forms of protest, Adin said, such as distributing leaflets or lobbying.
But both sides do agree on one thing — getting to know the other side was a significant result of the meetings.
"Since they voted to unionize, this is a relationship that will continue either until there is no more University or there is no more GTA union," Adin said. "We're sort of wedded together, and we have to learn to get along."
