NATION AND WORLD University Daily Kansan, November 8.1983 Page 8 Greyhound issues ads outlining strike offer By United Press International PHOENIX, Ariz. - Grayhound Lines Inc. gave striking workers a one-week ultimatum yesterday and took its case to the public with full-page newspaper advertisements across the country giving its message a story in a walkout that has stopped the buses nationwide. With bold headlines proclaiming "Greyhound wants you to know," the ads appeared in 158 cities. Hours later, the company said the more time it would have until noon Nov. 14 to say if they intended to return to work. Greyhound spokesman Don Behake said at company headquarters in Phoenix that the purpose of the newspaper ads was "to tell not only our own employees who are on the job, it is to the general public know exactly what the problems are and what we offering to employees." THE ADS APPEARED in about 170 newspapers in cities ranging from New York City to Coos Bay, Ore. Behnke said he believed they ran in all 48 contiguous states in which Grevbout operates. Cost of the ad that appeared in sister newspapers The Arizona Republic and the Phoenix Gazette was $8,190. It was $10,470 in the Dallas Morning News. In Florida the bill was $6,949 for the St. Petersburg Times and $6,548 for the Tampa Tribune. The cost was $20,000 for the Chicago Tribune, $6,888 in the Chicago Sun-Times and $2,100 for the Grand Ranids (Mich) Press. "That's pretty nice for a destitute company," said a union staffer in Phoenix who asked not to be identified. THE AD STATED that the company had been hurt by airline fares lower than the cost of a bus ride and presented the company's contract proposals including wage reductions for various classes of employees. The average pay rate was $35,744 a year would make $27,352 under the company proposal. "Greyhound Lines is struggling to regain its historic position as the low-cost transporter of people in America," the ad said. "We are doing this against formidable odds and in a sensitive environment of cut-rate fares." "Our labor costs are 30 to 50 percent higher than other major bus companies in America, and that fact makes it impossible for us to effectively compete against both the bus company and against other bus companies." The ad outlined the offer as a 9.5 percent cut in pay and said it would require employees to pay 5 percent to the pension plan. Amaligamated Transit Union officials said the company failed to outline benefit cuts which made the overall percentage much higher. They also claimed the company was not losing money but only sustained a reduction in profits last year. Algerian official visits France PARIS — Algerian President Chadli Bendjedet met with President Francois Mitterrand yesterday in the first visit to France by an Algerian head of state since the bloody independence struggle ended 21 years ago. By United Press International Mitterrand called the visit "symbolic and memorable." Chadli replied in Arabic that "the moment has come to the future rather than to the past." Chadii's four-day visit opened with the playing of the Algerian national anthem, which was sung by resistance fighters in the long colonial war with France. The anthem was officially played on French soil since Algeria won its independence PRESIDENTIAL SPOKESMAN Michel Vauzeille said the two leaders had "a great similarity of analyses" in their talks on the Middle East. Chadli and Mitterrand expressed "the same concern for the Palestinian people." Vauzele told reporters, but their positions on the rights of the Palestinian people "were not identical." in 1962. Relations between the two countries, cool under previous regimes, have warmed markedly since the election of Socialist leader Mitterrand. The Association visited Aligiers in November 1981, just six months after taking office. Chadli will discuss trade issues and questions that remain from the 8-year period. There have been persistent issues related to property claims by French settlers in Algeria. More recently, the two countries have differed on whether to offer dual nationality to children born to Algerians living in France. France has regained its position as Algeria's leading trade partner. Algeria is the largest market in the Third World and ninth world-wide. The two leaders are also to discuss Algerian immigration to France, a sensitive issue. There has been a resurgent racist backlash against African immigrants, sparked partly by high unemployment in France. France recently began buying gas from Algeria at prices above world levels in return for preference to French firms on Algerian contracts.
