General Phone Employes To Vote On Offers
General Telephone employes in Erie and five other cities will vote Monday night on a contract agreement reached this week with the IBEW joint negotiating board.

The union has been without a contract since January 28 after a 30 day extension, and the board can call a strike if ratification fails.
