I don’t remember it.

I worked for NY Tel, Special Services in lower Manhattan. Basically we were TTY installation and repair, but anything that wasn’t POTS or Mobile/Radio/TV ended up with us. Most of our equipment came from Skokie (TTY Corp) or Kearny (WE) although IIRC, the equipment bays for the PicturePhone dial network came from Denver. Most of my work centered around the stock market, Gov’t and the Bell System itself.

Ah yes, Kearny. We had strategic WE’s all over the country.

NY Tel must have been like the local C&P Telephone down here in Merryland, the local phone company, too part of mighty AT&T.

Great job....we were office workers but we had a union...Point Breeze Salaried Employees Association.

I was once a shop steward. Which is why I know that a union functions to protect the mediocre. Truly good workers not only do not need, but are harmed by, the presence of a union.
