Labor Unions Part of War Across Railroads in Illinois
Labor groups plan legislative action to curb employer interference with union formation. A bill, drafted by labor leaders, would make it illegal to prevent workers from joining unions with penalties up to 100 dollars or three months imprisonment. The measure, backed by railroad federations, is to be introduced in all sessions and at Congress. Indiana already saw a similar move, while railroad executives deny targeted actions against unions.
