Labor Drives Price War Among Cab Firms in Indianapolis
The Cab Drivers Union faces a clash with Indianapolis transfer companies over funeral price hikes from $2 to 4 percent. Firms refuse to raise funeral costs, while union members press for a standardized scale. A union-admitted employee from Indianapolis Transfer Co may help resolve the dispute tonight. A heavy shareholder says firms will pay the union scale but will not let the union dictate their overall pricing. The stockholder asserts drivers may unionize and be paid, but pricing remains under firm control. He argues the union is being used to push higher prices and vows to sign scales only if not forced on pricing.
