Judge Rules Receiver of Electric Line Must Pay Workers Living Wage
Judge Hugo Friend of Cook County Circuit Court ruled that a receiver running the Chicago and Interurban Traction Company must pay workers a fair living wage despite the line being under foreclosure. The decision, in a case brought by 90 members of Division 241, Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Employers of America, held that financial condition cannot justify wage cuts and that the receiver must pay market wages for labor and necessary supplies.
