Gen Tel Announces Layoffs and Cutbacks
General Telephone president Robert M. Wopat says new layoffs will hit maintenance installation and construction staff with some management cuts as PUCO delays on a 13.5 million rate request and other rate cases force cost controls. He blames inflation and poor economy for eroding earnings and warns service delays may worsen. The CWA is cited as opposing the rate increase.
