Servicemen Union Rejects Company Wage Cut Demand
The Tucson Rapid Transit bus drivers union rejects a 10 percent wage reduction sought by the company. Harry Matthewson says the move would slash earnings, noting drivers already lost a five cent raise and that the proposed cut would reduce about 365 dollars per year per driver. The union fights the proposal as others in the state gain 10 to 15 cent hourly increases.
