ML 6-42M 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 <strong>Public</strong> 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.
