Stale talks stall beer settlement adidos Photo by Mar* Pyne! Teamsters Union local 57 has been plcketin Patrick and Twin Cities Distributers for elgh weeks. By Cort Femald 01 th# EnwriM “Get off your ass and go to work,” the driver of a beat-up sedan yells. "Go to hell,” a Teamster picketer shouts back. “They don’t even know what’s going on,” a se cond picketer mutters, gazing after the sedan. The Teamsters shoulder their long-handled ON STRIKE signs and amble across the wide driveway of Twin Cities distributers on McKinley Street. One Teamster cocks back the brim of his baseball cap, squints at the grey clouds hunkering overhead and mumbles that it looks like another spell of rain. A similar scene is taking place at Patrick Distributing Co. on Prairie Road. Teamsters from local 57 are picketing both sites because these two beverage distributers are the last in the Eugene Springfield area refusing to negotiate with the union. Budweiser, Blitz-Weinhard and Olympia distributers have signed a one^year contract with the Teamsters, says Joel Krause, business agent for local 57. Contract talks with Patrick Distributers brokedown on June 9 when they became “un productive” and talks with Twin Cities Distributing fell apart soon after, says Krause There are “no negotiations" at the moment with either distributer, according to Krause. “We’ve hit a complete impasse,” he says. The stumbling block in the negotiations is the distributers’ desire to have the Teamsters ratify a contract that ties their wages and benefits to the profits of the company. Krause says this will cut wages and benefits. “The contract is too much for them,” he says. “We want them to pay wages equal to the work," Krause says. The adjustment of workers’ wages and benefits according to the rise and fall of a com pany’s profits has been a recent trend in organized labor contacts. The economy of the country and job security have much to do with it. But Krause isn't sure this is at issue between local 57 and the holdout distributors. "The economy has something to do with it,” he says. “A lot of companies are jumping on that (wage-benefit adjustment) bandwagon. All we want is to maintain our standard of living.” Ask a picketer at the Twin Cities site how long will the strike go on and with calm determination he’ll say:^‘As long as it takes." A pair of non-union drivers ease a Twin Cities delivery van through the slowly parting picket line. The picketers and the non-union drivers banter almost good-naturedly back and forth. In this strike, local 57 members have often followed distributers’ trucks on deliveries and picketed the stores. The tactic has led to misunderstanding among storeowners and rumors of violence. “Nobody’s been arrested," Krause says. “The picketing has been legal.” Krause says a couple of upset storeowners have called the Eugene police, because they thought they were being picketed One picketer sheepishly smiles as he tells of a rumor he was chasing a non union driver In a store with an axe. “It was a lie,” he says grinning. A strike isn’t a vacation, the picketers agres. A picketer will spend 10 to 12 hour days on the site getting paid a small amount of money from the union’s strike fund. "It’s not enough to live on,” Krause says. There’s no unemployment compensation for drivers off-the-job because of a strike and a labor dispute ? Isn’t grounds to collect unemployment benefits. ' A motorcycle roars by shaking his fist at the picketers. It’s not an insult — it means solidarity. Calendar FOR THE WEEK OF JULY 21 - JULY 27 FILM THURSOAY "The Grey Fox" Bijou.

The woman was walk ing southbound when the suspect ap proached her from the opposite direc tion, grabbed her wrist, said "That’s nice," and ran away. The victim described the suspect as a white male, about six feet tall and 30 years-old, with red, collar-length wavy hair and a beard. He was wearing jeans and an Oregon Country Fair T-shirt. A microwave oven worth $400 was stolen from a fourth floor kitchenette in Carson Hall between June 11 and June 13, but was not reported until July 12. The theft of the oven, which was bolted to the counter, was not reported sooner because Carson Hall officials weren’t sure if the oven had been taken to a repair shop or stolen, Officer Darren Dragt said. A leather wallet containing $1 and some identification was taken July 12 from a Lawrence Hall office where its owner had left it unwatched for “several minutes," Dragt said. A 35mm Canon camera, a 22mm wide angle lense and a white full-faced motorcycle helmet worth a combined value of $395 was stolen from a pro fessor’s unlocked office in Condon Hall between May 14 and May 23, but was not reported until July 11. Four bicycles were stolen from the campus area within the past week, Dragt said. In three of the cases, the bicycles’ cables were cut. Although police arrested several Oregon Jam fans for “prohibited camp ing” in Alton Baker Park Saturday, the “Jam’’ went "real smooth,” Dragt said. Information obtained from a police report regarding the June 27 burglary of the Chi Psi fraternity, reported in the Ju ly 7 Police Beat, stated there were no members living in the house this sum mer. Actually, there are 12 residing in the “Lodge" at 1018 Hilyard St. A fraternity member, who was sleep ing above the living room, was awaken ed by a transient who had shattered glass in attempting to enter the fraterni ty at 12:15 a.m., said Bill Wrightsman, a fraternity member. Fraternity members yelled at the transient, who then ran away, Wrightsman said. Police said they discovered the broken glass while making routine checks of the neighborhood, but Wrightsman said fraternity members called police after the incident occured.
