Faculty obligated to pay fee?
I  Agency shop unenforceable, petitioners say
by MITCH HEAD    ,
LIFE Ass't News Editor
Faculty members have no obligation to pay the.Faoulty "Association's
IA) agency shop fee, according to the petitioners for decertification.
..The FA announced, plans last week to begin enforcing the $160 agency
fee.      •
"The decertification vote still is not settled and until the Michigan
mployment Relations Commission (MERC) or eivil court settles this issue,
^culty members would seem to have no obligation to the FA," John Hepler,
lessor of English, told CM LIFE Friday.
Hepler also said he did not believe the FA could force faculty members
| pay the $150 fee.
Terry J. Mroz, attorney for the petitioners, said he believed the
|esent contract is invalid, which would question the validity of the agency
flop clause. i
"My basic reaction is that the agency shop clause is unenforceable and
gal," Mroz. said. _ • -'
He said although state and federal statute's allow for union shop clauses,
ise who do not pay then are terminated by the employer. He said em-
byes are not libel for civil damages in court.
"Even if the agency shop clause is legal, I doubt whether any civil court
iuld listen to the case. If it did, it would probably be struck down," Mroz
% .
The worst that could happen is the court would enforce payment of the
[fe, Mroz added, so faculty members should wait it out.
Hepler added he didn't think the FA should be allowed tto begin
fleeting the agency shop fee with the appeal pending.
"The FA would be better advised to think of the good of the whole
faculty rather than the interests of the union," Hepler said. "These days $150
dues buys a lot of groceries, particulary when the document's ratificatibn is
in question."
Hyman Parker,'MERC director, Baid the petitioners' appeal for a
decertification election is under consideration by the commission, but could
not determine when a decision would be reached.
The petitioners filed an appeal with MERC after petitions for a
decertification election, signed by more than half of the 600 faculty members
SF sponsors drive
at Central, were "administratively dismissed" by Parker because of a
technicality in wording.
Despite the* appeal, the FA announced last week plans to begin enforcing the agency shpp clause. In a letter to all faculty members, which
included copies of the contract negotiated with the "University, the FA said
faculty members had three options. ,   ...   "
The options,- according to the FA, are paying the FA dues of $150 to gain
membership, paying an equivalent agency shop fee for support of the Union
or risking liability to the FA in a civil action.

Dormitory residents also will be
allowed to sign away one of their
meals Tuesday. The'equivalent cost
of each meal signed away will be
donated to CROP foi< the Sahel relief
fund, Pier said.
FOOD    DISTRIBUTION   is
another problem Hunger Week will
accentuate, accdrding to Pier. A
"third world banquet" will take
place at the Wesley Foundation on
campus Thursday at 6:30 p.m. "In
this meal, food will be distributed to
participants in the same proportion
it is throughout the world,'' Pier
said. < '    &
According to nutritionist and
Michigan State, University professor'
George Borgstrom, "The U.S. soon
may have to jpin most of the other
people of the World who eat little
meat and more cereal grains. It
takes seven pounds to produce each
pound of beef. Americans consume
an average of 72 grams of animal
protein daily, while our doctors
recommend 20 grams for 'good,
nutrition. People in poor countries
average five to 10 grams of protein
daily." "*
"We are asking persons to fast
■ for some period of time during.
Hunger Week as a matter of personal conscience," "Pier said! "Our
aim is to raise this issue and ask each
person to reflect on his own actions
In regard to the food shortage issue."
A Lansing Red Cross unit will
arrive at noon Wednesday to take
the O type positive blood to Lansing
where a patient who needs type O
positive blood is scheduled to un- T
dergo open heart surgery, according
to Ray Dziesinski, chairman of the
blood drive for SF.
Dziesinski, Alpena junior,
requests students with type-0
positive blood sign up in the SF
office Monday so SF can tell officials
at the Lansing Red Cross Blood Bank
how much blood to expect.
The blood drive"on campus will
. be operated Wednesday and
Thursday on the second floor of
Foust Hall, Dziesinski said, and
though SF encourages everyone to
give blood some time during the two
^days, those with type O positive
blood are needed before Wednesday.
Dziesinski said the goal of the
drive is 250 pints for the two-day
period. The blood will be used for
leukemia research  and treatment.
THOSE WISHING to give blood
should make an appointment by
calling SF at 774-3827. Dziesinski
stressed unscheduled "walk-in"
donors will be accepted, but those
planning to donate should make an
appointment.
Volunteers to work at the drive
will meet tonight at 8 in the Lar-
zelefe Hall lobby.
Donating one' pint of blood
takes 45 minutes, Dziesinski said.
Donors must be between 18 and 66
years old, and weigh at least 110
pounds. No one may donate who
recently has had |a major operation,
has a history of heart trouble, is
using medication or has been
pregnant within the last six months.
Dziesinski explained the'
parents, brothers and sisters of an
Unmarried donor will recieve all the
blood they may need at no charge for
one year after the donation.; For a
married donor, his or her spouse and
children under 18-years old living at need not curtail normal activities for
home will receive blood at no charge the rest of the day, he said.
