Penn Central Hope Fades Yet Trustee Plan to Save Railroad
Penn Central trustees proposed in Philadelphia to ask the federal government to suspend excess crew laws in Ohio and Indiana and authorize a bankruptcy court mechanism to settle crew disputes under the Railway Labor Act within 90 days. They claimed a basic crew move could spare about 8900 jobs and save roughly 135 million dollars annually, warning bankruptcy or shutdown if labor costs and work rules aren’t resolved. The next step hinges on Washington, with skepticism about featherbedding and unions potentially blocking any rescue plan.
