finally over A year and a half of hard-fought negotiations came to an end Fri day morning when Graduate Teaching Fellow Federation Pres. Charlie Aker and University Pres. William Boyd signed the first contract between the two. GTFs were satisfied with contract provisions regarding work load, a grievance procedure, discipline and rehiring, but GTFF negotiators were unable to gain a strike vote to push their demand for a 19 percent wage increase over two years.
