Wildcat rail strike disrupts Midwest and South railways
A wildcat walkout by shopcraft workers hits Burlington Northern, Chesapeake & Ohio, and Louisville & Nashville. A federal judge issued a temporary injunction ending the Burlington Northern walkout, with operations returning to normal as unions prepare to comply.
