Rail unions threaten nationwide strike over wage cut
Washington May 20 AP. Railroad labor unions urged a possible nationwide strike if railroads push a 15 percent wage reduction beginning July 1. The Railway Labor Executives Association called roads double crossing their employers and warned strike action could follow. Senate opposition prompted withdrawal of a committee-approved RFC loan bill, with Wagner saying no wage cut discussion occurred during its review. He noted members wanted a no-wage-cut stipulation and pledged further talks with labor and management.
