Railroads to Hire 300000 for Spring Repair Surge
Chicago railroads plan a nationwide labor burst in the next sixty days to mend tracks and roadbeds and to staff shops for car and locomotive repairs. About 100000 Chicago-area workers are expected, with daily wages around $1.40 for general labor and higher pay for steel-rail gangs. The effort will pull workers from diverse backgrounds, with rising emphasis on Americans as jobs loosen and seasonal demand climbs. Steel and shop work will begin soon, targeting full operation by June as renewal and repair projects expand nationwide.
