Long Lines and A T and T in protracted contract talks
Div 10 Long Lines and A T and T Blacks Union enter another round of bargaining with neither side yielding. The company argues against a 35 hour week and broader arbitration rights while pushing for market based wages and unchanged seniority rules. Negotiations resume February 1 with disputes over job descriptions, union security, holiday pay, and hours, amid heated exchanges and limited progress.
Bargaining Deadlock Over Wage Progression Schedules
Union and company clash over wage schedule length and area differentials with the company resisting changes and hinting at eight year progressions. The union seeks arbitration and government mediation as talks stall. Upcoming meetings February 13 14 and a potential strike vote looms if no progress. Local 28 will be at the division 10 convention in Memphis next week with observer Ernie Lochnane.
