Faculty ratifies first union contract

.
.
.
After eight_ months of confhct with
the LCC faculty
~ollege negotiators,
faculty vote
fmally have a contract.
last Thursday overwhelm1_ngly _(185-13)
accepted the contract that will be m force
.
for the next calander year.
One of the most dramatic elements
of the contract is a retroactive pay increase for the previous uncontracted
months of work since July 1 that will
net most faculty members $400 to. $500
bonuses in their November pay checks.
While the contract is generally considered fair, both the College and the
faculty union (LCCEA) feel it is a "point
of departure' and intend to renegotiate
some terms for the next contract.
One of the main points to be reconsidered is protection for part-time (less
than half) instructors. Currently they are
not covered under collective bargaining
but Rick Romanek, LCCEA. president, says
the union intends to negotiate to include
them in the next contract.

.
any serious trends develop. Faculty sources say they will renegotiate this point
at that time.
The new salary schedule is based on
regressive increases--less percentage
increase for employees at the top of the

is the method for advancement on the salary schedule. The salary schedule is set
up in steps and levels. Steps are yearly
increases determined by time on the job.
Levels are major increases determined
by experience and training.

salary analysis
an analysis of the new contract reveals that faculty salary schedules are
not tied to cost of living increases. While
this wilt have long-range effects on salaries, this contract will expire before

strike averted

The one area that would most likely
have led to a strike--retrenchment (firing of staff)- has been reworded. The
staff is not yet satisfied, however. Romanek feels the administration still has
the power to "retrench' ' staff if it feels
the need for administrative reorganization
"to improve instruction," and this "weakens the total intent of this section," which
is to provide job security for the staff.
The heart of the new contract is the
grievance procedure--the method for
policing the contract and deciding issues
that will arise in the future.
The grievance procedure sets upthree
steps that take a maximum of 70 days
to complete. A staff member will be
assisted by the union during the first two
steps, while the third step consists of
binding arbitration to be carried out by
the State.

two new rights

student input overlooked
Another area of concern--to students
at least--is instructor evaluation. Under
the new contract there are no conditions
for student input during instructor evalu"Students seem to have been

overlooked," according to one source.
The LCC EA has already started planning strategy for negotiations on next
year's contract. Their new negotiating

schedule, varying from a seven per cent
increase at the top to 18 per cent at
the bottom of the scale. This gives an
average increase of 11.3 per cent, just
under the latest cost of living increases
"That's one place
for the last year.
we didn't sacrifice," claims Romanek.
While the faculty negotiation team
didn't sacrifice total increa~es, however,
it did sacrifice method of increase: They
had fought for across-the-board increases
to protect the "incentive" system, while
the College won out with the regressive
system that brings the extremes of the
salary schedule closer together.

staff advancement shifts

Another significant change in this area

Previously an instructor would make
step increases every year, and step and
level increases together when called for.
Under the new system a person will make
step increases as before, but when a level
increase is involved will move to the next
highest dollar step at the new level,
plus one step for seniority, regardless of
position on the pay scale. In other words
the instructor might move from Level I
Step eight to Level II Step three. This
will mean combined increases willbeonly
30 to 50 per cent of previous combined
increases.
Seventy per cent of the faculty will
get step increases with the new contract-and a new step, zero, will be added for
'
new faculty members.

The contract also guarantees two new
rights long sought by LCC staff members.
The contract provides credit for expeuence for staff members who gainpro•fessional growth through experience other
than higher education- and allows them to
apply this credit towards level increases.
This new clause will most directly benefit vocational/technical instructors who
have commercial experience in their
fields of instruction.
Staff members will now be able to
collect pay while pursuing professional

provision for $15,000 to be applied toward
growth leaves of up to 12 weeks for staff
members. This money will be used to
pay the staffer 75 per cent of her/his
base pay and supply salary for a replacement where necessary. This doesn't
provide much leave time for LCC faculty
but it does open the door.•

LCC loses grant money

by Roger Wood
The LCC Science Department lost
$15,000 in grant money this year because of a shortage of matching funds
in the LCC budget.
• The money was earmarked for the
purchase of new scientific equipment
for the department, including a computer that would have cost $12,000.
The grant was awarded by the U.S.
department of Health, Education, and
Welfare on the condition that LCC
match the $15,000 with an equal amount.
However, the funds normally set aside
to match such grants were cut from
the LCC budget. The cuts were made
by the LCC Board after the initial
LCC budget was rejected by the voters
last Spring.
Science Department Chairman John
Jacobs feels "the theory behind the
budget cuts was sound, but we feel
a little left out in the cold." Part
of this year's Physics program, which
had been built around the new computer,
will have to be changed or dropped.
Jacobs said the LCC budget will
be re-evaluated later in the school
year to determine if some of the matching funds may be available after all.
But he added that " the HEW grant
will be lost if we can't put up our
half of the money by June."
