Telephone Wages
Are Way Ahead of the
Cost of Living
Eight General Increases in the hast Ten Years Have Boos tea Wage Rates 117%
/ While Living Costs Have Increased About 7 3f 0 Any Further Increase
m Wages Would Have to be Paid by Telephone Customers
Telephone employees, like everyone else,
have faced a steep increase in the cost of
living during the last ten years. What about
telephone wages—have they kept up?
As the chart clearly shows, telephone
wages have more than kept pace—leaving ?
substantial margin in our employees’ favor
Telephone wage rates have been increased
117 per cent since 193 b compared with an
increase of about 73 per cent in the cost ot
living for Southern cities.
Soul hern Bell employees have received
eight general wage increases in the last ten
years. In addition, they regularly receive
automatic “progression” raises according to
a schedule which begins the day they start
work and continues with frequent increases
until they reach top pay for their respective
jobs.
During the next twelve months, 3 out of
4 Southern Bell employees will receive at
least one such automatic increase. Many will
get two and three.
Today, as always, Southern Bell people
receive wages which compare favorably with
those paid by other concerns in the com
munity for comparable skills and experience.
Can you think of any yardstick fairer than
that?
Add to good wages the assurance of year
round employment, liberal sickness, acci
dent and death benefits, and a pension plan
that is among the best in all industry, and
you can readily see that telephone employees
are doing all right.
