Court decision may bring mass railway layoffs
The Supreme Court refused to review a government arbitration board ruling that could cost about 48 000 rail jobs for freight and yard firemen and other train crewmen. Four unions challenged the ruling in two appeals, but the board’s decision stands and will take effect May 7 to 10 days after the final decision. Only firemen face direct impact, as other crew issues have begun bargaining steps. This action is separate from the broader rain labor dispute and is not tied to the April 22 Johnson announcement of an agreement.
