Communications Workers Vote Sunday On Agreement
About 5000 Communications Workers of America members will vote Sunday on a three year contract with Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Co affiliates in Maryland and Virginia. The Maryland pact, reached after midnight Saturday, covers salaries and avoids a walkout with a day to day bargaining plan. A similar interim arrangement exists at the West Virginia branch. A strike vote was scheduled for Sunday in both states. A key issue is the proposal to reclassify non creating clerical workers, which was set aside for nine months of study. Further Maryland details were pending.
