Conrail unions strike wage deal seen as policy lever
Labor leaders and Conrail executives announced a $228 million a year wage concession plan with unions giving up $200 million and Conrail adding $28 million in future-year adjustments. The accord aims to push Congress to extend roughly $600 million a year in federal subsidies for three years, shaping momentum for legislation. Union leaders expect rank and file approval, while government officials defer reaction to Transportation Department and Railway Association.
