Emergency Board Named In Rail Work Rules Dispute
Five railroad unions representing about 200000 workers denounce the Kennedy administration for not pushing collective bargaining as a three member emergency board is appointed to seek a settlement. The panel led by Samuel Rosenman starts hearings in Washington on April 11 and has 60 days to draft proposals then 30 days of talks. The unions warn the administration must back mediation or risk a failed bargaining effort and possible broader unemployment. The dispute, called the great featherbed ding, centers on work rule changes that unions say threaten 65000 jobs and safety. The statement was released by Roy E Davidson H E Gilbert Louis Wagner Charles Luna and Neil P Speirs.
