Negotiations for a new contract between Employes Transit Lines Inc and Local 1034 motor coach workers AFL are at a standstill. Arthur Gringle Jr. said talks would likely resume next week as the current contract, set to expire December 1, has been extended to January 31. The union seeks higher pay, hospital benefits, and better working conditions. Schmaich, owner-manager, warned of no wage increase unless business improves and noted the firm may sell, with service possibly suspended if rider demand does not rise. He added that cost cuts are the focus, not extending income, amid falling revenue.
