Rail labor talks falter over 40000 firesmen plan
House and Senate leaders declined comment on the railroad dispute. The Wirtz plan proposed 20 days of talks to draft a temporary agreement to eliminate 40,000 firemen jobs by attrition, with binding settlement steps if talks fail. Unions decried the plan as compulsory arbitration and a threat to collective bargaining, while railroads argued the firemen costs amount to 600 million dollars annually. The dispute centers on work rules and pay for almost 200,000 operating workers across 195 U.S. railroads and terminals, with a potential strike threatening 700,000 workers and 217,000 miles of track.
