Because you, as a telephone user, have an important stake in the issue, we'd like to give some straight answers to questions you may have about the strike situation up to date. Why i is there a telephone strike? The unions made large demands. We could not agree to these demands but offered to extend 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. What are the unions demanding? They are demanding scores of changes which would, if granted, amount to an increase of more than $100,000,00 a year in the cost of telephone service. This amount is five times our 1946 earnings. It would make our payroll alone larger than all the money we took in last _ year. What do these demands caaiel to telephone users? The union demands equal $45. per year added to each telephone bill . a 40 per cent increase in all telenhone rates. 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: ee @ out of school starts at a basic rate 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.
