CONCORD- Charges of discriminatory labor prac tices by Barber-Scotia Col lege, Concord, against four employees of the College, have been fi T3 twth The National Labor Relations Board in Winston-Salem by ,the National Education Association (NEA). The NEA alleges tnat these activities is the cur rent effort to establish col lective bargaining at the College. The charges were filed on March 7 by David L. Graham, organizing pecialist of the 1.8-million member NEA which is head quartered in Washington, D.C. According to the charges, the four College employees, all NEA members, have been discriminated against as a result of a March 2 action by the College con cerning contracts for the 1979-80 school year. James Baten, assistant director of student affairs and an employee of the College for four years, was not given a contract. Henry McDonald, director of the College Union, was reduced from a full-time employee to a part-time one. Dr. Talat Sultan, director of the Center for Educa tional Development, and Dr. Albert B. Turner, di rector of the Center for Political and Social De velopment, received no salary increments. Rather, they were reduced from a ten-month con tract to a nine-month contract at the same salary which they are receiving for this current school year. In addition, they will have in creased teaching loads and the continuing duties of their directorships. These actions occurred despite a Feb. 5 announce ment from the President of the College, Mrs. Mable P. McLean, that "Very definite planning has been in progress relative to the welfare of the entire staff. Announcements with regard to some specific steps in implementation will be forthcoming by the end of the month." On Feb. 28 the faculty and staff received an announcement from the President that some cur rent positions at the College were being reduced from full-time to part-time ones and that other positions were being eliminated, actions completely contrary to the Feb. 5 announce ment which spoke of the "welfare of the entire staff." Contracts were subse quently issued on March 2, one day later than the date specified in the contractual documents of the College: "Contracts for the ensuing academic year shall be issued not later than March first of each year."
