Rail unions accept wage increase with protest from some groups
Fifteen railroad unions accepted the United States Railway Labor Board wage award with protest. One group the Order of Railway Telegraphers referred the matter to its membership with a strike vote. Several unions will submit the award to their members for referendum or ratification while others accepted without a vote. The new scale grants dispatchers 13 cents per hour.
