Union negotiations
The Columbia Basin Electric

agement are in negotiations
with the I.B.E.W. Union and
employees on annual wage
negotiations.
The first proposal from the
employees through the Union
was a request for a 10.5 percent
wage increase. The proposal
from the Columbia Basin was to
hold to the 5.5 percent wage
guidelines.
The total payroll for 1972 for
Columbia Basin was $253,916.00.
The employees were also
asking a 1 percent additional
contribution equal to wages
toward a savings plan in the
nature of additional retirement.

I.B.E.W. Union employees and
management had agreed to a
$ii.80 an hour scale for linemen
and it is presumed that will be
approved. This was an increase
of 0.7 percent.
