Telephone Walkout Looming
Washington CWA President Joseph A Beirne says a nationwide telephone strike is likely after rejecting Bell Telephone Co s three year contract offer with 11 percent rise first year and 3 percent in subsequent years. Contracts with Bell System companies began expiring April 30 and a strike vote is underway while talks continue. Beirne warned the strike appears likely as negotiations continue and the system remains largely automatic with supervisory staff keeping some operations running.
