Agreement. certain

WASHINGTON (AP) — A tentative $2-billion contract
agreement between American Telephone and Telegraph
Co. and its.unions ceems certain to end the strike by about
700,000 workers. Normal telephone service would be ©
restored later this week upon completion of additional
bargaining at-the local level.

Leaders of the Communications Workers of America and
two smaller unions’ voted Sunday. to accept a propased
three-year pact providing substantial job security
guarantees and economic gains. It also could mean higher
telephone rates for- ‘customers.

Glenn  Watts;. president of the Communications
* Wworkers’. union, hailed ‘the’ agreement “in this volatile-
‘information age’ asa ‘pace-setter . that. will’ help. ‘all
_ Americans faced with ‘the’ ‘Popsible loss of work due to
- aay changing technology.”

The proposed pact also.was approved by, leaders of the
International Brotherfiood of Electrical Workers and the
Telecommutications International Union. . :

_ The Communications Workers’ union Tepresenta 625,000
AT and T employees and the other two unions. claim: ‘more
than 150,000 members.’

The strikers will remain on the picket lines inti some 100

local collective bargaining agreements, which mist. be |
- included in thenational accord, are ‘concluded across the —
’ country. Watts andthe leaders of the electrical workersand
. telecommunications unions said they were: confident there-

would be.no setbacks In the-local bargaining. =
Rex Reed, vice-president for labor relations at'AT and T,

described the accord as'a° “balanced settlement and | one oe

really that serves all: ‘parties quite well,” <2.
Watta’said the settlement, which would provide ‘AT and T

_, employees with "$3 billion worth: of ‘wage Increases, and

improved benefits over the next thres years, containg very
substantial improvements” over an earlier offer that had
. been rejected by his union's bargaining committee.

*. Watts sald he would not be surprised if telephone rates

’ rise substantially “because of the process that’s under way
of reorganization of the Bell System, of. divestiture, the
whole introduction of competition..." -

“But he insisted that any rate increases should not be
blamed on the unions, which struck AT and T on Aug. 7.

. etl am suggesting that during the life of this contract, the... :
- rate of productivity in our industry is likely to go up 21 per

-cent, and a 21-per-cent increase in productivity would more
than pay for any little $3-billion increase that we got out of
it,” he anid. .
