The unions that qualify will then be part of an election. The winner will be named exclusive bargaining agent for the unit. Each union is trying to persuade employees to sign their authorization cards, a battle that involves everything from personal persuasion to mass media to demonstrations of resolve. For example, AFSCME's campaign employs a mixture of television commercials, person-to-person recruitment and lawsuits filed against the state on behalf of certain state workers. Last week, the union filed the second such lawsuit this year and announced each one with a press conference.

While AFSCME officials say the lawsuits are not Just for show, they admit the publicity helps their organizing campaign. AFSCME also has taken the political position that Bayh's executive order, while not authorizing true collective bargaining, is enough for a knowledgeable union to leverage significant gains for state employees. "In announcing the executive order, its significance was downplayed with little mention of its ability to open the door for better wages, benefits and working conditions for state employees," said AFSCME Indiana President Joseph H. Bolt. "Those unions with limited public sector bargaining experience chose to go along with this lead.

One in particular, the UAW. called it a 'tiny Indeed, the UAW and other unions criticized the executive order, saying its scope and value was limited. Specifically, other unions noted that the order does not allow for a "contract" between employees and employer, only an agreement that is not legally binding and that could be easily abrogated. That means that any agreement signed under the order Is only as good as the governor's word. AFSCME's criticism of the UAW was not an accident, given the UAW's financial resources and Its willingness to spend sub-.

stantlal amounts of money. "I don't really know how much we'll spend," said UAW Region 3 Director William E. Osos. "All I can tell you Is we'll do whatever Is necessary." The UAW entered the organizing wars in a big way last week when It mailed videotaped "house calls" to 30,000 state employees at a cost ranging from $3 to $4 apiece. Osos said the novel tactic is proving highly successful.

"No other union has tried this before," he said. "It's the best way to house call and the cheapest; I mean absolutely the cheapest." Osos said that without the video presentations, the union would have to assign organizers to make personal visits to each potential member, a practice that could cost nearly $25 per call. Osos said the video presentation allows the union to get its message out and use its manpower in other ways. ISEA President David Hahn said his union, which already claims between 4,000 and 5,000 state employees as members, is using more traditional means to reach state employees. "We've got at least 30 people out there collecting (authorization) cards," he said.

"We're very pleased at the way things are going." Hahn was especially critical of Bayh's executive order, calling It "collective begging, not collective bargaining." He also took a pointed shot at AFSCME for "misleading state workers by telling them that the executive order is a 'giant step for state "Under this plan." he said, "there is no third-party arbitration, which means disputes are only settled on the governor's terms, no guaranteed contracts or agreements, and no protected right to collective action so employees are prevented from demonstrating their true feelings." The Teamsters Union, meanwhile, announced late last week that it, too, was entering the organizing fight. John Neal, president of the Indiana Conference of Teamsters, said the union has spent time In a "behind-the-scenes" effort to gain collective bargaining rights for state employees, some of whom already are Teamsters' members. Neal promised an aggressive campaign and said his union "will not try to buy state employees' votes with T-shirts and meals. We will be running on our reputation of providing the best representation and the strongest contracts" Robert Wonderly, former press officer STAR WASHINGTON BUREAU Washington Robert Wonderly, 63, a former Indiana resident who was press officer for the U.S. Catholic Conference and the National Conference of Catholic Bishops for the last 14 years, died last Monday.
