End of long labor dispute with Ohio telephone firm reached
The 14 day stoppage involving about 1 000 Communications Workers of America members and United Telephone Company of Ohio ended with a court ordered agreement. A ratification vote by union members is set for August 23 1971 with the current contract remaining in effect until then. The pact includes wage and fringe benefit adjustments retroactive to July 1 1971 and July 30 1971 respectively, and specifies no penalties during the dispute and preservation of seniority and benefits. Locals across Ohio with roughly 1 300 members are affected.
