UK workers begin steps toward unionization

By W AIXI‘I'IR Ill.\'.\'O\'
KeriieIStaff Writer

A group of l'niversity employcs met last
Wednesday and discussed proposed
unionization.

The meeting. heldat the High St \'.\lt‘A.
is in response to service cutbacks and
overall dissatisfaction with ITnivcrsity
policies toward employes. said Margaret
Roach. a spokeswoman for the workers
and med center employe.

Exposure and a ”substantial, across the
board wage increase” for UK employes
are immediate organizers goals. Roach
said. Because of the high cost of living. an
increase in the "incredibly low” current
wages is needed. according to Roach.

.\ PETITION WILL be circulated among
employes la ter this week asking for a wage
increase. she said. The workers want to
present demands for specific wage in-
creases before the University budget
request is presented to the Board of
Trustees in April. Roach said,

“The University of Kentucky always
contemplates raises for employes without
assistance." said Larry Porgy. vice
president for business affairs, Wage in
creases for employes. which are
traditionally instituted in July. will be
around it?) per cent for all employes as
announced by President Otis A
Singletai‘y

Although cmployc pay raises will be
cqual proportioiiatcly. faculty and ad
iiiiiiistrators will I't‘t't'H" a greater raise
\‘lllt‘t‘ they are paid more. Roach said

It”; \IOVICWICVI‘ toward unionization
was evidenced Ill early March when
leaflets were distributed advertising the
meeting .\ii attempt at organization by
I’niversity employes failed in 1972 when
the issue w ent before the state legislature
but died in committee

Increased benefits. an improved
procedure for voicing grievances and an
end to alleged racial and sex
discrimination are other goals of the
organizers. Roach said Demands in these
a rcas are not yet finalized as they are still
being researched. she said

Roach met with Student Government

Hollenbach calls Carroll indecisive
concerning proposed Red River dam

Managing Editor

Jefferson (‘ounty Judge 'l‘odd Hollen-
bach has charged (lov Julian (‘arroll with
“indecisiveness” concerning the proposed
Red River dam

“The acting governor ((‘arrollt has
become the non-acting governor." the
Louisville Democrat said Saturday at the
opening of his Fayette (‘ounty campaign
headquarters on Main Street Hollenbach
and (‘arroll are the two major contenders
in the May 27 primary for the Democratic
nomination for governor.

t" \RROIJ. ertlLV’l‘lA' announced that
it may be as long as Its months beforc he is
able to ta kc a position on the controversial
dam

Last week t'arroll said he had received
two major reports from the l' 8 Army
(‘oi'psof I‘Iiigineers which he will use in his
decision But there were no such reports
and (‘arroll was actually talking about a

collection of letters. statements and other
cornispondence concerning the proposed
dam. according to the corps.

The difference in the governor's
statement and the corps' reply was one of
“semantics" and wording, said John
Nichols. (‘arroll‘s press secretary.

('\RROI.I,'S ('RI'IDIBIIJTY has been
threatened with the recent confusion over
the two reports from the corps. Hollenbach
said.

“He it‘arrolli is deceiving the people of
Kentucky." Hollenbach said "He has said
he has been studying two reports but the
corps said no such reports e.\'ist

about the flooding problem in Powell

He said the flooding could be solved by a
flood wall or levee. such as the one
recently completed in his own county to
ease flooding from the Ohio River.

Jefferson County and Powell County
problems are similar in that one lies in the
horseshoe bend of the Ohio River and the
latter is in the horseshoe bend of the Red
River. Hollenbach said.

THE PROPOSED dam‘s recreation

economic problem of the area. he said.
