Railroad Board Rejects Living Wage Demand
Chicago August 29 The Railroad Labor Board denied Jett Lauck’s motion and ruled it could not set a living wage based on a standard of living. Grable and Lauck criticized the decision as hearings paused with 400000 maintenance of way workers seeking a guaranteed annual pay. The dispute centers on wages to end the strike while carriers warn against premature wage standards. The board will formally rule on the living wage principle later, as negotiations continue.
