He named his own mediation panel to supplant the mayor's and treated the outlaw union with unwonted deference. Rockefeller's mediators proposed a pay increase of $425. The union accepted immediately, and the Governor hailed the proposal as "fair and reasonable." Lindsay rejected it out of hand.

They limited the referendum to GSA members because they know graduate students as a whole would not support the referendum," he charges.
