United Press International - October 24, 1986
On Tuesday, Paul Cronan, 31 years old, returned to his job after settling a $1.5 million suit against The New England Telephone Company, which he said had failed to keep confidential the fact that he suffered from AIDS, and failed to protect him from harassment.
His 29 co-workers walked off the jobs Wednesday to protest his return. They returned today after meeting with three doctors who told them AIDS patients do not pose a threat at work.
