IBEW Rejects Bell Offer In Illinois Strike Standoff
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers rejected Bell Telephone Co. of Illinois top pay rise proposals during a wage negotation in Chicago. Bell argued the plan would raise top craftsmen pay by 26 dollars weekly over two years, while IBEW seeks 19.50 weekly for top journeymen. About 11,800 workers have been striking for 14 days, with supervisory staff covering line, installation and repair roles. A police brief notes Eddie Wayne Gwaltney of Carbondale faces a lack of valid operator or chauffeur license charges.
