New CPR Proposal Details Firemen Seniority and Pay Terms
The CPR offered a revised plan in the diesel firemen dispute. It guarantees pay for those displaced and preserves seniority for firemen with under three years’ service, while offering alternative work as trainmen or yardmen with pay and mileage protections. Firemen with pre April 1 1953 seniority retain fireman status and may move to passenger service or engine-man roles as promotions occur, with a later answer from union counsel awaited.
