Demands of the Railroads Arbitration Proposals
The document lists demands on wage payment and compensation rules for railroad workers. Key points include full mileage or hours paid for, prohibition of double compensation, unified classification across train crew, elimination of guarantees, potential pay reductions for yard brakemen and long-run conductors, multi-class service pay with a ten hour minimum, and a 20 percent lower rate for brakemen on trains under extra crew laws. It also seeks supersedence of existing conflicting rates and rules by the arbitration outcome.
