Union Objects to Red Cap Rate Hike Proposed by Terminals
A CIO union urged the Interstate Commerce Commission on February 1 to reject a plan to raise redcap rates at railroad terminals from 15 to 25 cents a bag. Union leader Willard S. Townsend said the workers would not benefit and the increase would curb redcap use, raise unemployment, and push passengers to buses or planes. The proposal targets Cincinnati Columbus Indianapolis and St. Louis, with the ICC pausing action until March 31. Townsend noted the burden would fall on coach passengers and the most vulnerable travelers. He proposed the railroads absorb the costs like other service staff.
