Rail Peace Seems Less Remote As Strike Talks Progress
Chicago July 19. Railroad peace talks gain momentum as negotiations hint at new hearings on wage questions. Railroad labor board action removes 400,000 maintenance of way workers from walkout risk and signals possible changes to living wage definitions. Union leaders view hearings as a concession while preserving their core stance. Senator Cummins plans hearings on the transportation act to clarify living wage prospects, seen as a peace driver. The labor board may revisit wage cases for the Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul line after the company waived notice. The strike, nearly 100 percent effective among oilers, faces challenges for replacements as crews fear degraded safety and working conditions.
