Toll collectors' strike possible
Albany UPI Union leaders for State Thruway toll collectors and maintenance and clerical workers will meet Monday to consider calling a strike after their members narrowly rejected a proposed three year contract 738 to 725. About 2,200 workers in all four Thruway divisions and Albany HQ are affected. The pact would have given a 5 percent raise next year a $200 bonus for hires before December 9 and open wage talks in 1978. It also would have created a new bottom pay level cutting 7 percent off the current bottom salary after one year on the job.
