When SAGA settled its
dispute with striking workers
in early December the
company agreed to find new
jobs for anv employees it laid
off.
Twenty-two of these
workers were shifted to the
University School of Medicine,
where they are now being
trained as laboratory assistants.
According to Dan Leonard, an
instructor in the program,
everyone seems satisfied.
The ex-cafeteria workers,
whose ages range from 19 to
50, are learning the basics
UN .Meeds Interns
Three summer internships
are available for UNC graduate
students to serve 10 weeks in
New York at the United
Nations Secretariat.
Applications are being
accepted until Feb. 24 at the
Graduate School Office for
Scholarships, 116 Steele.
Students, including foreign
students, from a variety of
majors are encouraged to

apply.
The program, now in its
ninth year and financed by the
Institute for International
Order in New York, offers the
interns the chance to work at a
job related to their background
and interests. This summer the
internships will run from June
5 through Aug. 13.
each intern will be paid a
stipend of $850 to aid
expenses.
Selections from the program
will be based on interest,
academic achievement and
experience. Interns who plan
to visit New York during the
spring may arrange interview's
so they can be briefed by the
departments where they will
work.
Departments which may
select interns this year include
Office of Legal . Affairs;
Division of Human Rights; and
about physics, chemistry and
biology. They should, upon
completion of the seven-month
course, be able to pass high
school equivalency tests and
get jobs in the hospital.
"The Research Triangle may
also have jobs available for
some of them," Leonard said.
"The thing that amazes me
about this program." he added,
"is that the people are really
motivated. They really want to
learn and I'm convinced they
can do it."
The training of these
includes a daily schedule of
labs, lectures and on-the-job
training and is geared to giv ing
them practical, more than
theoretical, knowledge.
Each morning, the workers
receive formal laboratory
training in which they learn
how to weigh and prepare
chemicals for solutions. These
labs are followed by lectures
on basic scientific knowledge.
Then for an hour each
afternoon, they are given
on-the-job training on practical
technical skills.
'The work they do there,"
Leonard commented, "is as
varied as the research projects
in the Medical School."
At the end of the day. the
worker-students participate in
vocational rehabilitation
programs which are designed to
help them pass high school
equivalency tests at the end of
the course. If they do pass
these exams they will be
eligible for permanent
employment in the hospital or
with other technical firms.
While they are in the
training program the workers
receive a minimum-wage
salary and upon completion
of the course they will receive
increases of up to a dollar an
hour.
Alt of the twenty
instructors in the program are
volunteers from departments in
the Medical and Dental
Schools. The director is Dr.
Edward Glassman, a professor
in the Department of
Biochemistry.
Leonard noted that many of
the trainees have become
frustrated at one time or
another because of their lack
of scientific skills.
"However, they are
progressing well and are getting
more confidence in
themselves," he added.

month. Two strikes took their
toll. Three strikes could be
disastrous.
Some workers feel,
however, they have little
choice. The University agreed
to help find laid off workers
jobs within the University and
give the workers preferential
treatment "when their
qualifications are equal with
other applicants."
This is no guarantee,
however.
Many cafeteria workers have
worked with the University for
10 or 15 years (SAGA took
over food operations May 19,
1969). It would not be easy for
these people to find other jobs.
On the other side, few
companies could afford to
keep a work force
disproportionate to its needs.
SAGA officials say their
figures show business down 50
percent since November and
meal ticket sales less the 50
percent of the fall's total.
The critical points here
would be whether SAGA has
been hiring white students to
replace black employees and
whether SAGA is actually in
such poor economic condition.
Jesse Epps, special assistant
to the president of AFSCME,
said his group wrould try to
find the "truth" to these
critical questions.
Porters, maids and hospital
employees have charged they
have been mistreated and
denied fair overtime pay. Their
position is less clear than the
cafeteria workers'.
Young said he did not want
another strike.
The workers have, said they
do not want another strike.
Undoubtedly, the
University would not want a
general walk-out of its
non-academic employees.
As one worker said,
however, "What choices do we
have?"
The choices may lie in the
union's letter to the Chancellor
and in his reply. Of course
there just may not be any
choices. '
