Unions Block Wage Rise After Accepted Te Since 1947 Arbitration
The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen and Enginemen and the Switchmen's Union of North America, representing about 125000 railroad workers, refused a 15 cent an hour wage increase already granted to 1.0 million workers by a 1947 arbitration. They issued a strike ballot during negotiations, challenging the move while Railroads assert full compliance with the Railway Labor Act and warn against holding back 90 percent of workers for 10 percent. The unions, among the highest paid, face criticism for threatening a strike that could affect the country.
