Classified reaches salary settlement By Lenna Fitch Staff Writer Classified personnel and management at Clackamas Community College have reached an agreement on wage negotiations for the 1976-77 year. The wage increase was approved by the board on Wednesday evening, Oct. 20, said Ralph Groener, a member of the CCC Board of Education. "I've been in favor of classified all along," Groener said. "They (classified) came out better than the faculty did in negotiations," said John Bailey, executive director of American Fed eration for State, City and County Municipal Employes (AFSCME). Bill Ryan, CCC Dean of College Services, said that classified will receive a 5.79 per cent adjustment on the salary schedule, a 1.3 percent increase in fringe benefits, plus increment -- their annual step increase. Faculty received a 6 percent adjustment, a .5 percent increase in fringe benefits, plus increment, which was approved by the board on Oct. 13. Ralph Groener added that there were two separate contracts approved at the board meeting - one for classified and one for administration. "Some administrators were making less than some of the faculty members," Groener said. "So the distribution of increases was worked out differently - the higher the wage, the lower the increase; the lower the wage, the higher the increase. According to Bill Ryan, the adjustments on administration's salary schedule will aver age about 5.1 percent, along with a 1.9 per cent increase in fringe benefits, plus incre ment. The increases range from six percent at the entry level to three percent at the dean level. All adjustments on the salary schedule will go into effect retroactively as of July 1,1976. : Security Chief Stan Johnson experiences something a little less popular than the Blast during Monday's swine flu vaccinations in the Community Center Mall, it was not as high as expected in the first of a series of innoculation clinics.

This was perhaps the reason that the turnout was not as high as expected. Dr. Dan Risser, CCC campus physician, thought people had negative feelings toward the flu shots because of the publicity. "I don't think anyone was surprised that less people turned out than expected," he said. The date for the next swine flu clinic on the CCC campus had not been set, but Hartley said it would probably be held in the latter part of November.
