Phone Operators Strike Back Demands Backed by Club
Washington AP The National Federation of Telephone Workers offered to negotiate with American Telephone and Telegraph Company over contract demands and a strike call. A 4 member policy committee invited AT&T to begin negotiations by April 7, with Joseph Beirne told to report by 2 40 9 03 BST. If accepted the move would affect long lines division and major services but not all facilities. The NFTW is independent of AT&T and Bell System unions. Labor Department officials say they may intervene if a strike seems likely.
