No Progress Reported in RR Wage Dispute Talks
A presidential board has not yet made progress in resolving the two-week-old shopcraft dispute that halted national rail service for two days last month. Union and railroad negotiators remain far apart on wages, with unions seeking annual hikes of 6.5 and 5 percent plus a 12.5 cent hourly bump for skilled workers, while railroads offer 6 percent over 18 months and a 5 cent skilled worker raise. The board, led by Senator Wayne Morse, has 30 days to negotiate, then another 30 days for hearings if needed, with mandatory recommendations if no agreement is reached. The unions include machinists, electricians, boiler makers, sheet metal workers, carmen, firemen, and oilers.
