(GAC) officials said today they are asking their 350-man workforce in the Akron vinyl operations to forego an upcoming 26-cent wage hike as part of a jobs-saving program geared to making the local plant competitive.

FOREGOING the 26-cent increase due Aug. 7 would leave the average straight-time hourly wage of workers at the current $4.20 level. With fringe benefits tacked on, workers are now earning about $5.75 an hour.
