This was the Union for telephone workers in Pennsylvania. I am not sure when they merged with the CWA (Communication Workers of America)
CWA, the largest telecommunications union in the world, represents over 700,000 men and women in both private and public sectors, including over half a million workers who are building the Information Highway.
CWA members work in telecommunications, broadcasting, cable TV, journalism, publishing, manufacturing, airlines, customer service, government service, health care, education and other fields.
When I worked craft at GTE I was a member of CWA from 1963 until I was promoted to management in 1977. I remember one of the strikes CWA had against GTE of California it went from Oct 1963 to April 1964.
