The Public Employment Relations Commission ruled last week that Western committed an unfair labor practice by. refusing to negotiate parking issues with Western employees. The commission ruled that parking is a mandatory subject of the collective bargaining process under state law, said Marty Hitchcock, president of the Unit D chapter of Public School Employees union and administrative services manager A for the department of accounting at Western. The issue began in February 2002 when the adrninistration would not bargain with the union over parking issues, Hitchcock said. In order to settle the contract, the union conceeded, but it filed an unfair labor practice suit with the commission to encourage negotiations, she said. "It gives us the opportunity to negotiate with the Western to get something more fair for workers," Hitchcock said. According to the report, Western must bargain collectively with the Public School Employees, post the report for 60 days where it is accessible to all employees and read the notice at a regular board of trustees meeting. Western has 20 days to appeal the case or report the actions SEE Union, PAGE 6 SHARAB.

FASA is part of Western's Ethnic Student Center. It aims to educate people about the Filipino culture, FASA President Ronald Reboja said. "It is not just to educate Filipinos, but other people as well," Reboja said. "You don't have to be Filipino to join this club." The evening festivities included musical performances by FASA members, cultural dances by the Ilocano Association of Washington and a buffet full of food from the Philippines such as meat and vegetable rolls, cake and an entire ready-to-serve hog placed on a table. Barrio Fiesta is a representation of celebrations that occur.throughout the Philippines/said Christina Pettit, a Western sophomore and FASA member. The name comes from Spanish explorers who observed these celebrations in small villages they named "barrios," Pettit said. The entertainment was the highlight of the evening, said Ric Acido, a Western junior and FASA member. "It was kind of empowering to see what a group of students could put together," he said. Despite being sponsored by the Filipino organization, Barrio Fiesta entertained Filipinos and non-Filipinos. SEE Return, PAGE 6
