Tentative rail pact reached across 15 unions
A tentative wage and fringe benefit settlement covering virtually all 500,000 railroad workers would raise wages and benefits by 10.7 percent over 18 months from July 1. It includes a 4 percent raise next January and a revised pension adding 42.75 dollars monthly, with the industry funding former worker contributions to retirement funds. Ratification by union officials is required, with Sheet Metal Workers needing member approval. The deal arrives three and a half months before July contract expirations, aided by the railroad retirement fund's finances.
