Negotiators for Consolidated
Corporate Consultants, Plain-view,
may have been setting a bit
of labor negotiating history in
New York City on Monday as
their representatives held
marathon bargaining talks with
no less than four separate unions
involved in disputes with area
firms. The scene of the
negotiations is the Gramercy
Park Hotel at Lexington Avenue
and 21st Street, a landmark
building in the lower Manhattan
mid-town area.
Murray Portnoy, president of
C-C-C, revealed that
simultaneous talks were un­derway
with three locals of the
International United Electrical
Workers Union and another with
the District Trades Council
Union. He said it is probably the
first time that a management
negotiator like C-C-C was han­dling
four separate labor disputes
under one root at the same time.
•What I think it demonstrates
is that in the complicated world
ol modern labor negotiations, we
attorney who often acted as a
shield in piMiffitous talks," stated
Portooy.v>We-at C-C-C are-ex™-
perienced in dealing with labor
disputes from heavy past ex­perience
and we talk the
language of eventual settlement.
When a battery of lawyers
arrives lor labor talks, it is in­dicative
of bad relations with the
client and the negotiations
become much too long and costly
tor both sides." Consolidated
Corporate Consultants handles
labor negotiations lor a number
of linns in the greater Long
Island-New York area and is
located in Plainview.
