Rail labor rule changes threaten large job losses
The ruling delays a potential strike as President Kennedy could delay walkouts for 60 days by appointing an emergency board to study a three year dispute over work rules. The proposed rules could save railroads nearly 600 million annually but would eliminate 13 000 locomotive firemen jobs within a year and threaten 65 000 to 80 000 other positions. The decision followed an appeal by several railroad labor unions and conductors associations.
