collective bargaining in contracts of teachers and other public employes The state Senate passed AB 572 on a 0 vote and sent the bill back to the Assembly which unanimously adopted the Senate amendments worked out by teacher represen tativesandschoolofficials The compromise amendment would allow teachers and other public employes to keep contract provisions already won at the bargaining table but would allow no new areas of negotiations to be opened The Assembly had earlier passed a more restrictive version of AB 572 which took away some gains already won in employe contracts Passage of AB 572 was seen as a victory for local government officials who argued that a wide scope of bargaining threatened to bankrupt local governments Teacher groups accepted the compromise version of AB 572 after it appeared the stricter version would pass the Senate if the compromise was not accepted The Senate Government affairs committee accepted the amendments unanimously Wednesday night The
