Biggest wage and benefit pact in telecom history reaches vote
Tele phone workers nationwide prepare to vote on a three year contract with AFL CIO CWA and Bell System that would total nearly 20 percent in wage gains. The agreement ends a 16 day strike and sets pay increases of 34 a week for top craftsmen by year three, with broader raises for operators and clerks. Savings and pensions improvements accompany the deal as costs may raise customer rates.
