Rail unions clash over 40 hour week demands
Glover and railroad spokesmen traded views on bargaining under the railway labor act. The railroad spokesman contended compensation for a 40 hour week is the core issue, noting few switchmen work 56 hours while a few do to gain extra pay. The union seeks 48 hours pay for a 40 hour week, about 31 cents hourly, and accuses the railroads of refusing to bargain.
