Tentative pact still calls for 7.8 % Greyhound cut

c. 1983 N.Y. Times News Service A tentative agreement in the month-old Greyhound bus strike still calls for a pay cut of 7.8 percent, but the overall package is significantly -better than a company proposal rejected last week, union sources said on Sunday. The strikers continued to picket Greyhound facilities across the nation, however, and said that the walkout would continue until the terms of the settlement had been ratified by the union’s membership. The results of the ratification will probably not be known until Dec. 20 because of the time require'; to hold meetings and conduct a ballot by mail. • Company officials said Greyhound would continue its limited service pending the vote and that it expected to expand its operations this week, as planned.

Buying phone for Christmas? Here's what to be looking for

By LOUISE COOK Associated Press Writer Don’t be surprised to find a telephone ringing or beeping underneath your tree this Christmas. As deregulation moves into its final stages with barely a click for a busy signal, telephone marketers are battling for a share of shoppers’ holiday dollars. * The phones come in every shape, style and price from under $lO to over several hundred. The more you want your phone to do and, in some cases, the longer you want it to last—the more you’ll pay. As a guide through the basics, the U.S. Office of Consumer Affairs is distributing “How to Buy a Telephone,’’ a pamphlet developed in conjunction with the Electronic Industries Association.

'Learn to Flirt 7 seminar seen as 'loneliness antidote' LOS ANGELES (AP) A sidelong glance. A welcoming smile. While it may seem just a social game, flirting in fact is the “antidote to loneliness” that anyone can learn, say two self-certified experts on the sexy subject. “Flirting is a lost art that can be taught,” says Diane Jonasson, and for $45, she and partner Patty Stine will guide even the most timid through their daylong “Learn to Flirt” seminar. Ms. Jonasson. 40, draws on memories of nights she spent waiting for suitors who never showed and the self-help courses those waits prompted her to take. Ms. Stine, 36, contributes her experiences with the “gorgeous body-builder jock type” she once favored exclusively to the point of marrying one before learning to look at “everything else that makes a good man.” “Flirting should be a way of life,” Ms. Jonasson, a public relations professional, said in a recent interview. “Babies and toddlers are the most flirtatious people of all. They’ll do anything to get your attention. We feel the adult can go back to that little kid in all of us and be a little more friendly, a little more open, a little more excited with life.” Ms. Stine, a Los Angeles County employee, concedes that flirting “got a very bad connotation because people do it just to feed their own egos, when actually some people can really use it to meet people and to keep yourself from being alone. Teasing is promising something that you have no intention of giving, and flirting is a way of communicating with people.” To begin, they say, don’t regard the opposite sex as the enemy. “Men and women both want the same thing,” Ms. Jonasson said. “The new flirter must overcome often sizable fears of taking risks, of failing and of rejection.” “There are no guarantees that you’re not going to get rejected,” Ms. Stine added. “You have to take responsibility for the fact that your loneliness is self-inflicted. You can convince yourself there’s nobody out there for you, then you don’t have to go out and put forth the effort. ” Once you decide to take the plunge, they advise, look beyond singles’ bars to the park, the laundi7, the grocery store _ anywhere you see someone interesting.

Hart, Cranston looking over female VP possibilities

c. 1983 N.Y. Times News Service SAN DIEGO, Calif. - Two Democratic candidates for president, Sen. Alan Cranston and Sen. Gary Hart, said Sunday that they were looking over the field of women who might serve as vice presidential candidates with them, but each declined to commit himself to a choice. Cranston, of California, and Hart, of Colorado, were given a

Kay McMurray, director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, announced the three-year agreement Saturday night in Washington, where the 31-member Amalgamated Council of Greyhound Local Unions and officials of Greyhound Lines Inc. had been meeting. Details of the proposed pact were not immediately disclosed pending reports to the strikers. Harry Rosenblum, president of the locals’ council, acknowledged that it was a “concessionary” pact but defended it nonetheless. “Over all, we’re satisfied that we won back a lot of the items from previous packages,” he said. Leaders of the Amalgamated Transit Union, which represents the strikers, who number more than 12,000, said meetings would be held in the next few days to explain the agreement.

Pueblo, Colo., 81009. If you’re planning only one phone or buying your first one pick a standard model that is sturdily built and easily repaired. Make sure replacement parts are and will continue to be available in your area. The telephone should operate on DC (direct current), NOT on household electricity. You may also have to plug your phone into a regular electrical outlet to take advantage of all the special features, but the basic phone service shouldn’t be dependent on that outlet. Be sure you can make calls during a general power outage even if the dial doesn’t light up. Test the phone to see how it feels and sounds as well as looks. Is it easy to hold? Comfortable to dial? Is the ring adjustable? How does your voice sound to the person you’re calling?

polite but restained reception at a conference here of 350 women serving in state legislatures. The meeting was sponsored by the Center for American Women and Politics of Rutgers University. The forum at which they spoke came as an anticlimax for many of the legislators, after the intense partisan contention over a speaking appearance Saturday night by

According to union sources who asked not to be identified, the settlement calls for the 7.8 percent pay cut that was included in the proposal rejected last week. The pay of Greyhound drivers before the strike, the company said, had averaged $27,437 per year, plus $8,307 in benefits. Under the new agreement, the union sources said, strikers will be reinstated in their jobs with full seniority. The agreement would also institute payment of pension contributions by employees; the company had paid the entire amount. But benefits for retired workers will be improved, union sources said. The members of the Greyhound Council approved the new pact by a weighted vote, based on membership, of 162-75, Rosenblum said.

What sort of repair service will be provided? Can the phone be fixed locally or will it have to be sent to a factory service center? How long will repairs take and will you be given a loaner phone while you wait? How long does the warranty last and what are the repair charges after the warranty expires? Is there a flat fee for each repair or is the price based on the amount of time involved? Some of the newer phones are cordless; you can walk while you talk. These phones operate like two-way radios and consist of two parts a base station which plugs into the phone line and an electrical outlet and a battery-powered handset. Short-range models operate up to 100 feet from the base station; long-range models go up to 1,000 feet. The range you really get depends on building materials, electronic interference and the terrain.
