Pennsylvania Railroad appeals to general staff for volunteer train duties
The Pennsylvania Railroad, in Philadelphia, urges 146,000 east of Pittsburgh employees not in operating roles to volunteer to run trains if a strike among engineers, firemen, conductors and brakemen proceeds. The move aims to keep trains running, avoid harming 121,000 non operating staff, and may open shop and office workers to new roles. The company stresses loyalty and promises to retain volunteers in their new jobs after any potential strike.
