Does Where The Telephone Strike Stand Today? Bc.ut you, at a. telephon uor, have an im portant .talc in the iitue, we'd like to give tome straight answer to questions you may have about the strike situation up to date. f. Why ' Ther m Telephone Strike f The unions made large demands. We could not agree to these demands but offered to extend our contracts while bargaining continued. But the unions refused. We then offered to arbitrate the basic issue, wages. The unions again refused and went out on strike. 2. What Are the I'mlon Hemandingf .They are demanding scores of changes in con tracts which, if granted, amount to an increase of more than $100,000,000 a year in the cost of telephone service. This amount U five times our 1946 earnings. It would make our payroll alone larger than all the money we took in last year. S. What tto Thene nemanAn Mean to Telephone Uern The union demands equal $45 per year added to each telephone bill ... a 40 per cent increase in all telephone rates. 4. Iloiv Well Are Telephone Employee Paid Sow? Studies show telephone wages are in line with those paid for other jobs on the coast requiring skill and training . . . Telephone wage rates now average 58 per cent above the 1941 level. Here are typical examples: OPERATORS: Even a girl right out of school starts at a basic rate of $30 a week while learn ing in small towns, $28 to $29. Actual earn ings 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 oper ator can earn over $2700 per year working a 5-day week. PLANT MAINTENANCE MEN: Actual earn ings of many experienced men last year were more than $5000. The basic rate for inexperienced men is $34 at the start and scales up to $72. Overtime and premium pay are in addition. 5. What Other HeneiliH o Employee iletf Among other extra advantages are paid vaca tions up to three weeks depending on length of service . . . Holidays with pay . . . Sickness and death benefits a . Pensions . a . Good work ing conditions. And telephone work is steady work . . . the kind a person can count on. S. Why Can't the Company Agree to Union Demand? Wages and other costs of service are paid by the people who use the telephone. We can't give blanket agreement to the unions' huge de mands because we cannot justify them to our customers who pay the bill. 7. How Ha 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 employes, investors and customers. . Whi n Will The Strike Be Over? . . . We don't know. But we believe that no mat ter how long the strike lasts, it is in the public interest 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 or calls. Calls from dial to dial telephones,' which make up the bulk of calls in many cities, are com pleted without interruption. Many calls which require the service of an operator are also being completed. Many telephone company people are working days and nights on strenuous shifts to keep serv ice 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.
