Where Does
i
The Telephone Strike
Stand Today?
Because you, as a telephone user, have an important
stake in the issues, we'd like to give some straight
answers to questions you may have about the sfike
situation up to date.
. WHY IS THERE A TELEPHONE STRIKE?
Tite unions made large demands. We could agree
to these demands but offered to extend contracts
while bargaining continued. But the unions re
fused. We then offered to arbitrate the basic issue,
wages. Hie unions refused and went out on
strike.
2. HAT ARE THE UNIONS DEMANDING?
They are demanding scores of changes in con
tacts which would, if granted, amount to an
increase of more than $100,000,000 a year in
tiiC cost of telephone service. This amount is
five times our 1946 earnings. It would make our
p tyroll alone larger than all the money we took
in last year.
3. WHAT DO THESE DEMANDS MEAN TO
TELEPHONE USERS?
The union demands equal $45 per year added
to each telephone bill ... a 40 per cent increase
. in all telephone rates.
4. HOW WELL ARE TELEPHONE EMPLOYEES
PAID NOW?
Studies show telephone wages are in line with
those paid for- other jobs on the coast requiring
similar skill and training . . . telephone wage
rates now average 58 per cent above the 1941
level. Here are typical examples: Operators:
F.vcn a girl riht out of school starts at a basic
iMle of $.30 a week while learning in small
towns, $28 to $29. Actual earnings are higher
due to overtime and premium pay. There are
frequent pay raises, too. At the end of the first
year the new operator can be earning over $1900
a year. A supervising operator can earn over
$2700 per year working a 5-day week.
5. WHAT OTHER BENEFITS DO EMPLOYEES
GET?
Among other extra advantages are paid vacations
up to three weeks depending on length of service
. . holidays with pay '. . . sickness and death bene
fits . . . pensions . . . good working conditions.
And telephone work is steady work ... the kind
a person can count on.
6. WHY CAN'T THE COMPANY AGREE TO
UNION DEMANDS?
Wages and other costs of service are paid by
the people who use the telephone. We can't give
blanket agreement to the union's huge demands
because we cannot justify them to our customers
who pay tke bill.
7. HOW HAS THE COMPANY TRIED TO END
THE STRIKE?
We wanted to extend the liberal, working con
tracts while bargaining continued. But the unions
refused. We repeatedly offered to submit the
wage question . . . the basic issue ... to arbitra
tion ... but the unions continue to refuse.
We have offered the unions a practical plan to
settle the strike ... a plan that is fair equally to
our employees, investors and customers.
8. WHEN WILL THE STRIKE 'BE OVER?
We don't know. But we believe that no matter
how long the strike lasts, it is in the public inter
est to face it rather than to capitulate to the
unions' huge demands which would require large
increases in telephone rates.
Meanwhile we will continue to do our best to
handle your calls.
Calls from dial to dial telephones, which make
up the bulk of calls in many cities, are completed
without interruption. Many calls which require
the service of an operator are also being com
pleted. Many telephone company people are working
days and nights on strenuous shifts to keep ser
vice 'going. They have been joined by many
others who put the public interest first. We
appreciate this loyalty.
We wish to thank the public for their helpful
cooperation during this troublesome period.
