Phraseology
Telephone or Telegraph Co. – All Other Employees & DriversIncludes operation, maintenance of extension lines and making service connection.
Description
Code 7600 applies to all employees of telecommunications companies other than those employees working within offices or exchanges. This classification applies to the operation and maintenance of overhead and underground lines away from the exchanges including the extension of lines and making of service connections. Some operations included in this classification include clearing rights-of-way; erecting poles, cross-arms and insulators; stringing overhead lines or lead sheath cables used for multiple circuits; and laying underground cables.
In situations where telecommunications companies do not maintain exchanges, and their employees hook up their telephone lines to existing telecommunications companies’ cables that are the property of other telecommunications companies, and these existing lines are located within manholes, such operations are also included in this classification. These companies also maintain an office staff to provide sales and customer service.
