Freund urges faculty action "UNO wants to be recognized as a separate collective bargaining unit. If the regents determine that we aren't, we take the matter jo court," Eugene Freund, UNO prof essorj" told 35 faculty members at a joint meeting of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) Monday. The UNL AFT claiming 10 per cent of UNL faculty, and the AAUP sponsored the meeting featuring Herbert Heneman, professor at the University of Minnesota, and Freund. Past bargaining methods may not continue to be appropriate, Heneman said. 'We are now facing employment pollution. It is time for faculty to have a different form of government." Lobbying, educating the legislature and getting the support of the majority of faculty are all very important. Striking would be the very last resort, Heneman said. On the UNO campus one third of the faculty are AFT members and 60 per cent have signed pledge cards granting the AFT the right to do collective bargaining in their behalf. "In Nebraska we are still fighting the. preliminaries in collective bargaining. Many people in Nebraska are neutral or negative. UNO, the medical center and UNL all need to be recognized separately as collective bargaining units," Freund commented. Freund is not optimistic about a timetable. JHe explained it would take nine months to one year to negotiate. - "If faculty on this campus (UNL) don't get together, collective bargaining will be completely out of their hand," he said. ' Paul Olson, foundation professor - in English and president of the UNL AFT commented, "I think we should congratulate UNO for their actions. I don't think it will go to court The regents are reasonable men and will probably support rt" The UNO faculty are well organized while UNL is disorganized, Olson said. About half of the faculty at UNL support some kind of union, he added. "But we are not sure where we stand of ir we have enough support yet. The faculty is .not eager. They don't sense any difference from three years ago. "It . is important to- organize now however. The UNO action is not a threat but should stimulate action here at UNL. We ought to come to some decisions later this spring," Olson said.
