Arbitration Award
Means Further Increase
in Telephone Rates
Telephone Customer Pays Bill for Higher Wages
— Wages Already Good —
Company to Appeal Order to Courts
• The decision of the State Board of Arbitration
granting a wage increase to telephone
operators is not supported by the facts.
• Because the award is unwarranted, we are
asking the Appellate Division of State Superior
Court for an immediate stay and full review of
the Board's decision.
• Because there are no surplus earnings to
meet any increases in labor costs we are forced
to ask the Public Utility Commission for
immediate rate relief.
• Higher labor costs resulting from the Board's
award must be reflected on the customer's
telephone bill. That is the only way the Company
can get the money required to meet its
expenses.
TELEPHONE OPERATORS ARE ALREADY WELL PAID
A fact-finding board, under the chairmanship' of Professor Emanuel Stein, which considered this
same issue earlier this year decided that no wage increase was warranted. Regardless of whether
comparisons are made with hiring rates, maximum rates or average rates, the facts prove that
the Company is already paying excellent wages and that no increase is justified.
