Workers protest rail cuts across New York and Washington
Thousands of rail workers rallied in Washington and disrupted service in New York and Philadelphia to oppose proposed Amtrak and Conrail budget cuts. A 1500 strong Conrail sick-out in New York cancelled 15 morning trains and delayed many others, with all Bronx commuter trains dropped during the evening rush. Philadelphia saw some delays while Reading Terminal service remained mostly normal. AFL-CIO leader Lane Kirkland urged strong government support as administration proposals to privatize profitable Conrail lines and cut Amtrak funding faced opposition.
