Employes Ask Bargaining By a Staff Writer CEDAR FALLS The city's street department employes, some 21 non-supervisory workers, have asked Teamsters Local 650 to represent them as a collective bargaining agent in future dealings with the city council. At present such collective bargaining is prohibited by the city's personnel policy, but the union has asked to meet with city council members in an effort to have the policy changed to allow collective bargaining. ALTHOUGH AN effort to secure collective bargaining rights for public employes failed to pass the Iowa legislature during the recent session, city governments have the option of providing such an agreement with their public employes.

Cedar Falls' current policy on the subject prohibits bargaining but Mayor Jon T. Crews is on record in favor of collective bargaining. Earlier SAT. ONE gives satisfaction always COUNT WHY WAIT? USE YOUR Kmart CREDIT CARD OR MASTER CHARGE TOO master charge -a this year all seven council members voted to endorse the Iowa League of Municipalities recommendation favoring passage of the bill that would have approved collective bargaining for publie employes. "I basically feel they should have the same benefits and protection as workers in private industry," Crews said although he qualified his statement by adding that the issue of the right to strike by essential workers in the field of public safety must be resolved before a final solution can can be achieved.

UNION SECRETARY Earl V. Lindholm said Wednesday that the teamsters union represents other city employes in Dubuque, Burlington and Des Moines, although local 650 has no such agreements at the moment. Lindholm said the proposed representation for Cedar Falls employes is "not a spur of the moment thing," but came as the result of nearly two years of discussion with the city's street department personnel. "They are a little upset over some things that have happened over there," Lindholm said. WHILE HE would not elaborate in detail on worker grievances in Cedar Falls, Lindholm said the general areas of concern would inlcude pay periods and methods of payment, job security and the desire to "have meaningful voice in how they are handled." If approved by city council, via a personnel policy change the collective bargaining agreement would cover street department employes excluding supervisory personnel and secretaries.

Lindholm said the representation was requested by fully 100 per cent of the street personnel involved and that the union has offered to present the representation request cards to a neutral third party for verification of their authenticity.
