Hearing Called on Pay Boosts for Railroad Workers
Col onel Philip B Fleming wage hour administrator announced a September 23 hearing on Railroad Carrier Industry Committee recommendations for minimum wages. The proposal would raise pay for more than 60,000 workers by about 7.18 million dollars yearly, with trunk lines at 36 cents and short lines at 33 cents per hour. The majority says the plan is the highest level not hurting employment or competition, while the minority argues 40 cents could still be feasible. If approved, 55,805 trunk line employees would gain, including 23,727 in the Southern district and 25,914 in the Western district. short lines would boost about 5,300 of 17,000 workers.
