Telephone Strike Far From Ended in Southwest
In Angelo Texas officials say a telephone strike by Communications Workers of America members across five states remains far from a settlement. The walkout affects 45 of General Telephone Company exchanges from Texas to New Mexico with demands for a 1.25 dollar starting wage, a 35 hour week, injury pay, and a company health program. Negotiations continued into Friday night with no contract stance reached. Local supervision maintains service with dial systems and long distance operators filling in.
