Union Pacific switchmen walk out in Cheyenne yard
Thirteen Union Pacific switching crews in Cheyenne yards walked off at 11 Sunday night and stayed away all day yesterday. A four-man committee met with Superintendent A W McDuffie to present grievances while a second meeting was planned for 10 this morning. Officials expect a return to work after explanations. The action, not officially a strike, reflects broader labor discontent rather than a wage issue, with no impact on Colorado & Southern or Burlington lines or overall traffic in the region.
