DeCamp negotiations at standoff By Alfredo Lopez Start Wrlttr The strike by 120 drivers and 30 mechanics against DeCamp Bus Lines drifted Into its fourth day yesterday with no end in sight and no negotiations scheduled.

Talks broke off Sunday night after management representatives and negotiators for Local 1317 of the Amalgamated Transport Workers union failed to agree on three issues wages, a guaranteed 40-hour work week for substitute drivers, and disability insurance benefits. "We were offered three months at the same pay," union Vice-President Robert Doyle said yesterday, "and we turned that down. Now they want us to take a wage cutback. We should be moving forward; we're going backward." The strike affects 12,000 commuters from Passaic, Essex, Hudson, and Morris counties. Transport of New Jersey, the state's largest bus line, has scheduled additional bus runs for those commuters.

The union, whose members have been working without a contract since last July, is reportedly intent on bringing the workers' wages to a par with those of TNJ workers. TNJ employees have approved a contract with wage levels of about $9 an hour. DeCamp wages average $6.83 an hour. DeCamp officials contend that the firm cannot accept union demands and stay solvent, especially since it lost state subsidies last year. Also last year, DeCamp was forced to move its operations out of Clifton be cause its lease with garages there had expired.

The company says the move to Montclair costs it more than $100,000 a year in additional garage fees. Union leaders said they had not set a date for resuming talks with DeCamp management. "I would say that we're going to have to wait until they get around to serious negotiating," Doyle said. "When they want to talk business, we're ready. I don't think anything's going to happen for a day or two." Bible school aids HAWTHORNE A workshop for the vacation bible school staff will be held Feb.
