Picketing at Southwestern Bell by Western Electric strike
Southwestern Bell here hosts 9 am pickets in support of Western Electric installers on strike. The walkout affects 38 employees at the local plant including 30 operators and four business office workers. Outside installers remain at work as the dispute targets Western Electric and the Communications Workers Union, not Southwestern Bell. Operators handle calls but with slower speed while the business office stays open.
