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."
