Negotiations may resume Faculty strike imminent By Cyndi Bacon Of The Print the Clackamas Community College Board of Education has decided to meet with the CCC faculty negotiating team for mediation or over-the-table discussion concerning the recent faculty's notice of intent to strike be cause of wage differences, according to Mike Montgomery, chief negotiator for the CCC board. "The board met Monday night to decide what contingent action they would take if the faculty did strike," said Montgomery. "We would like to get back to the table." It's apparant that both sides -- the board and the faculty -- are waiting to hear word ASG vice president hospitalized Thursday Don Bixler, Associated Student Govern ment vice president, was admitted to the University of Oregon Medical School Hos pital in Portland last Thursday for cor rective surgery on his left leg. The bone graft, which was done last Fri day, was to correct a leg operation Bixler had last December that didn't heal. "Right now I'm feeling sore but the pain is slowly receding and I hope to be back to school next week," Bixler said. Bixler is keeping up with his school work while in the hospital and is calling the ASG offices every day to find out what is going from the mediator, Alton Smedstead, who is assigned by the State Conciliation Service. "Everything is at a lull," said Allan Hein, the faculty negotiator. "Everybody's waiting to see what develops with the mediator." "Both sides are waiting and planning," said Shirley Cressler, president of the Clack amas Community College Education Assoc iation (CCCEA) which represents CCC's 120-member faculty. "We have to figure out what to do if the strike occurs." Earlier in negotiations, Montgomery, the boards attorney, had indicated to Hein that the board had authorized him to make an offer that was higher than the figure they had discussed in mediation, but not as high as the factfinders, according to Montgomery. "I asked Al (Hein) if it would be helpful to get together for mediation or across-the- table discussion," said Montgomery. "The faculty had indicated to him (Hein) not to send back any number other than the factfinder's." "We wish the board to accept the fact finders report," said Hein, who is employed by the Oregon Education Association (OEA). "That doesn't mean that we're not willing to sit down and talk about the issue, if the mediators feel that should be done." Dick Andrews, member of the CCC fac ulty senate, told The Print last week that Montgomery hung up on a faculty repre sentative when he was called and told of the faculty's decision to strike. "I do not recall such a phone call or that conversation, and frankly, I wouldn't hang up on anybody," Montgomery said. "We haven't heard anything back from the mediator," said Hein. "Until then, we'll just wait." CLACKAMAS COMMUNITY COLLEGE ARCHIVES
