Rail Workers Seek 14 Cents An Hour Pay Boost
Rail workers across 120 carriers and 1.05 million wage earners plus 200000 operating brotherhood members petitioned for a 14 cent per hour raise. The request follows a 16 cent award by government arbitration boards dated for April 3, while some unions call the prior 30 cent demand inadequate. Two operating groups already had wage plans reviewed by a presidential fact finding board, with results due to President Truman this week. Some workers indicate potential further claims to be considered.
