Penn Central seeks delay of 44,000 wage hikes
Bankruptcy bound Penn Central asked U.S. District Court Judge John P. Fullam to defer wage increases for 44,000 employees until spring. Trustees propose delaying all pay boosts and fringes for most unions to save about 5.1 million dollars, noting 1973 losses near 61 million and 200 million loss in 1972, with cash strain through early 1973 unless operations stabilize. The plan covers two $50 monthly raises for supervisors in January and April and 25 cent hourly raises for other workers in April.
