Times News Service SAN FRANCISCO Mayor Art Agnos said Monday that he would sign legislation regulating the use of video display terminals in the workplace. The decision was made after labor and business leaders worked out an agreement with the mayor for amendments that would make the ordinance less costly for businesses by extending to four years, from two, the time they would have to comply Fully with the measure. 1 The agreement appeared to make a legal challenge of the ordinance less likely, but the business leaders who participated in the negotiations noted that they could not speak for all businesses.
