5.  Other Events

	New Bargaining Agreement

	Members of the International Brotherhood of 
Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 1600 have ratified a new 
four-year bargaining agreement with PP&L, Inc. (PP&L).  The 
IBEW represents approximately 4,100 of PP&L's 6,350 full-
time employees.  Among other things, the Agreement provides 
for wage increases for IBEW members of 3.25% in 1998 
(effective as of May 18) and 3% in each of the three 
remaining years.  In addition, IBEW members will receive a 
lump-sum ratification bonus equal to 2% of base pay.  The 
Agreement also provides that any acquirer of PP&L or 
purchaser of any part of PP&L's operations "shall agree and 
become party to and bound by all the terms, conditions, and 
obligations of the Agreement."
