THI SUN -B-7! SBVC, employees end nearly year talks with 3.8 percent raise By BARBARA ANDERSON Sun Staff Writer SAN BERNARDINO Community col. supervisors and confidential employees at their 4 p.m. meeting Thursday at San Bernardino Valley College. Non-teaching employees who belong to the California School Employees Association, Chapter 291, which represents the 240 classified workers in wage and benefit negotiations, approved the district's offer of a lump-sum payment on a 54-27 vote last week. The association has about 140 voting members.

Vice Chancellor Peter Se'lo said the 3.8 percent one-time raise Was approved by a 133-9 vote from among the total faculty of approximately 260 members. The agreement, if ratified by trustees, ends a year of tense negotiations between the district and the non-teaching employees, who are the only district employees under collective bargaining. No raises have been given to any em-' ployees, and dissatisfaction with salary increases has been linked to a faculty request that the powerful California Teachers Association be named as their sole negotiating agent. Faculty members still negotiate in informal meet-and-confer sessions, with the instructors being represented by several organizations. During the year's negotiations, non-teaching employees threatened to start an informational picketing campaign after talks stalled in September, and they filed an unfair labor charge against district negotiators.

The employees claimed the district tried to coerce and intimidate their negotiating team to return to the bargaining table. The employees felt negotiations had concluded with the district offering to give a 3.8 percent increase on the salary schedule, which would be the base salary for negotiations this year. District negotiators asked the employees to return to the negotiating table because they never intended for the raise to be applied to the schedule, but viewed it, instead, as a one-time lump sum payment. The employees had simply misunderstood the offer, they said. The Public Employment Relations Board, which handles unfair labor charges against classified school employees, could not substantiate charges of unfairness filed by the San Bernardino college employees, said Manuel Melgosa, Los Angeles regional attorney.Employees have until Dec.
