Firemen Win Wage Arbitral Victory Across 4 Railroads
The Board of Arbitration issued a decision in the wage and working conditions dispute between four eastern railroads and 31,000 firemen. The award raises pay by about 10 to 12 percent on average, adopts uniform wages across all roads, and maintains existing higher rates where earned. It sets a two-fireman engine rule via an arbitration process and preserves prior earnings and conditions. The decision marks a compromise after months of negotiations and debates on engine classifications and stokers.
