Labor agreement outlines 40 hour week plan and wage steps
The plan aims for a five day 40 hour week for yard workers within three months pending a Truman‑appointed neutral referee. A 4 cent uplift accompanies switching to the 40 hour week, added to a 37 cent base wage rise. A cost‑of‑living escalator would adjust wages quarterly by one cent per point change in the index. Arbitration would bind on two rules including pay for multi‑skill trains and extended switching limits.
