Federal Conciliation Board to Settle Rail Contract Dispute
Rail unions representing about 150000 employees seek fringe benefits rather than wage hikes. They want longer paid vacations, sick pay, overtime for Sundays, and more paid holidays, costing railways an estimated 60000000 yearly. Negotiations involve Canadian National, Canadian Pacific, Hamilton and Buffalo, and Ontario Northland, with seventeen unions. Direct talks failed and two federal conciliators were appointed. In 1950 a nine-day strike and Parliament action settled a nine percent rise. A threatened strike by another union over jurisdictional issues was reported. CNR and CPR said the dispute is a representation matter between two unions, not railway management'
