Commonwealth Telephone Company 1'he Facts: Fact #1 - The current weighted average rate of pay for Commonwealth Telephone Company's unionized employees is $13.92 an hour. With the proposed contract, the average wage would increase to $14.84/hour or $30,867 annually. Further- more, the current top rate for unionized employees is $16/hour, or $33,280 annually, not including benefits or overtime. Fact #2 - Commonwealth Telephone Company is asking unionized employees to contribute more to their health care costs. The company has proposed that unionized employees contribute 17% in the first year of the contract, the same percentage non-union employees have been paying for the past year. Commonwealth will continue to pay the far greater share of health care premiums for employees and their dependents. Fact #3 - The total benefits package represents an additional $7 per hour and costs the company an average of an additional $14,560 per year for each unionized employee. Unionized employees also get up to 4 weeks' vacation a year, a company-paid pension, 11 paid holidays annually and more. Fact #4 - The company's proposal benefits customers by maintaining very reasonable telephone rates and ensuring the continuation of high-quality tele- phone service. Commonwealth customers pay anywhere from $4.52 to $7.07 per month for basic dial tone service - significantly less than the $13.16 telephone customers in Wilkes-Barre, Pittston and Scranton pay for equivalent service. Fact #5 - Commonwealth provides not only telephone service but also assists many organizations in the community, such as fire and ambulance corps, schools and colleges, cultural centers, family and child welfare agencies, youth athletic teams, Chambers of Commerce and the United Way. Commonwealth also contrib- utes to its local communities by providing jobs and paying taxes. In fact, the total payroll for Commonwealth Telephone Company in 1991 amounted to over $20 million -- dollars that support the economies of the communities where our employees live and work. And the total payroll for all of C-TEC Corporation was over $44 million -- making the local economic impact even greater. Commonwealth Telephone Company has been negotiating with its unionized employees since October, 1991. We have offered a fair and reasonable package of wages and benefits. Union leadership contends that it is concerned with the rising cost of health care. So are we. In fact, that is why we won't continue paying as much as we have in the past for our employees' health care premiums and we are asking for alittle more from all employees. Many companies in America are requiring a far greater contribution. We hope this information reassures all parties concerned that Commonwealth Telephone Company is firmly committed to providing quality services and products for its customers, to creating value for its shareholders, to contributing to the communities in which we operate, and to providing for the welfare of all our employees.
