Cincinnati Bell Units Okay Pact To Include 12% Pay Hike
Members of CWA Locals 4400 and 4401 have overwhelmingly approved a new agreement covering 2,000 Cincinnati Bell employees which will provide nearly 12 percent in wage increases and provide substantial hikes in pension benefits over the next 30 months.
Wage increases take effect at six-month intervals, alternating between 2 percent and 1.8 percent in May and November over the next two and one-half years.
The contract also maintains current benefit levels for medical care coverage at no monthly cost to employees. The pact includes upgrades for certain job classifications and gives preference to current information service operators over off-the-street hires in clerical and service representative positions that become vacant.
