Board Sees Rail Union Shop Pacts Aiding Nonopers
A presidential fact finding board led by David S. Cole expected to urge railroads to sign union shop agreements with 17 unions representing about 1,000,000 non-operating employees. Four large carriers plus many smaller lines already have such pacts covering over 215,000 nonoperating workers, with other roads holding similar contracts for signalmen clerks machinists and more. The decision could reshape labor management during the current emergency as wage disputes hinge on union shop rights and Taft Hartley provisions.
