Rail labor backs government ownership with private operation plan
Glenn Fy Plumb of Chicago told the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee that railroad workers favor government ownership of property with operation by a jointly run corporation. He proposed profits shared between employees and the government, rates cut when profits exceed a fixed rate, and ICC regulation continued. The plan includes a board elected by employees and a government appointee, with profits split between government and the employee-held corporation to boost efficiency and curb political influence.
