Gov Tuck Refuses Second Conference in Wage Talks
Governor Tuck declines to recognize a proposed second conference for wage negotiations by Virginia Division 33 of the Communications Workers of America. He cites existing contract terms with Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Co. of Virginia and says intervention is improper at this stage. The union seeks further talks after a tentative agreement offering $1 to $6 weekly increases, while the union demand runs about 13 cents an hour for roughly 5700 company employees.
