Workers Consider NYNEX Contract: Striking telephone workers were still dissecting a NYNEX settlement offer and had not decided to accept the entire package, but were pleased with resolution of a health-benefits issue that prompted the 14-week walkout. “We’re inching along. We’ve still got a lot of work to do in committee,” said Jan Pierce, a vice president of the Communications Workers of America. The CWA, representing 40,000 workers at New York Telephone, and 20,000 International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers members at New England Telephone struck parent NYNEX on Aug. 6.
