Company Warns Phone Strikers Over Return to Work
Ohio Consolidated Telephone Co warned about 600 Communications Workers of America members in 24 counties that replacement staff could be hired if they do not return within a week. The letter, rejected by the union as propaganda, cites the ongoing impasse since the July 1966 contract expired and notes training needs and the desire to avoid loss of employment. A bargaining session is set for January 17 in Columbus, with prior sessions yielding no progress. The dispute centers on a union shop versus maintenance of membership proposal.
