Labor union charges m I unionization is aisgourageg By Greg Wees The two top officers of a labor union local are standing by their charges that NU personnel supervisors openly have discouraged university employes at tempting to organize under Local 1827 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME). However, UNL Personnel Director Roy Loudon Jr. denies that such attempts have been made or will be made by the university. Rules written by the NU Board of Regents guide union organizers recruiting university em ployes. in a statement last week, signed by union vice president Ron Kurtenbach, AFSCME members censured UNL "for its harassment and repression of union organizing" and attempts "to prohibit nonemploye union organizers from doing organizing on the campus." Memo 'anti-union' At the center of the AFSCME charge, Kurtenbach said, is a memo allegedly written by Loudon and read to UNL custodians last May during their monthly meeting. Kurtenbach, a UNL custodian who attended the meeting, said John Dzerk, UNL Physical Plant operational mana ger, read a memo which Dzerk told the custodians was written by Loudon, "thai was very anti-union. It discour aged them (custodians) from signing the authorization petition. ' A petition must be signed by at least 51 of the custodians, groundskeepers, food service and other employes before AFSCME can represent the nonteaching employes in contract bargaining negoti tions, Kurtenbach said. "The memo said that 'signing an authorization petition is like signing a blank ch- ck, Kurtenbach said. Super visors were encouraged by the memo to toll employes of the dangeri of a union, ho added. Statements 'not true' Dzerk said he would not comment on the memo he read. But he did say that ' union recruitment of employes "should not take place on taxpayer's time." "Kurtenbach's statements are just not true," he said. Dzerk said he warned Kurtenbach about talking to ; employes during coffee breaks. Dan Beattey, another custodian at the meeting, also said he heard Dzerk tell custodians that " 'signing authorization cards was like signing a blank check'." During the meeting Kurtenbach said he asked Dzerk for a copy of the memo, ( s but Dzerk refused to give him ono. AFSCME president John Lemmon, was not at the May meeting, but said ha went to Loudon's office to see the memo which Kurtenbach said Dzerk read at " the meeting. ; - .:; "I asked him (Loudon) for a copy of the memo,, but he said it was university , business," Lemmon said. "Loudon said , he could not give it to me." Memo 'doesn't exist' However, Loudon told the Daily neuiaA(ui, . - which allegedly discouraged union organization doe3 not exist. "The university takes a position of 'strict neutrality on union organization," e Loudon said. "' Guidelines adopted by the regents In April 1972 have to be followed by union organizers, Loudon said, : "Organizers have the right to talk to employes," he added, "but this must be done on their own time and not on university time." j Board of Regent3 guidelines state that ' "solicitation for union membership by employes of the University campuses w!H net be allowed In nonworklng areas and during nonworking hours excluding only coffea breaks."
