Rail Board Plan Seeks 7 Cent Increase and 40 Hour Week
The advisory Rail Board proposes a seven cent hourly wage rise and a 40 hour workweek for non operating clerks and mechanics, retroactive to Oct 1, with pay unchanged for shifts up to 10 hours. The plan, led by William M Letserson, would cost railroads about 240 million in 1945, and follows earlier 1946 and 1947 raises. The board’s recommendations to President Truman aim to settle wage disputes without bias to carriers or unions, outlining overtime penalties and eight hour pay guarantees for weekends and holidays.
