Phone company offers wage hikes amid inflation pressure
A telecommunication unit in the Bell system proposes starting wages rising from 95 to 40 dollars weekly and top crafts from 80 to 87. In Huntington top increases cover 5 to 7 dollars weekly for crafts while operators gain 4 to 4. Union reps contend the offer misses 35 proposals for better conditions and falls short of the 10 percent wage boost under the wage stabilization program. The company notes wage costs plus taxes and materials could force rate increases, citing West Virginia wage growth since 1939 and a near seven million dollar annual rise in general wages.
