Truman's Job Telephone Strike Ends In Michigan
Michigan's 18 000 telephone workers strike ended with a settlement between Michigan Bell and the CIO Communications Workers of America. The union cites a 12.7 cent hourly wage increase as the basis, with the bell system keeping a prior weekly raise of 4 to 7 dollars. The accord, likely to shape national patterns, follows months of widespread idle hours across the Bell system and involves 260 000 workers idle or off duties in the United States. Major states affected include Michigan New Jersey Northern California and Ohio, as walkouts and non-striker sympathy actions continued across the industry. Workers are expected to resume duties by tomorrow as the impact of the settlement ripples beyond Michigan.
