Federation Backing Brotherhoods Strains Rail Unions Stand
The American Federation of Labor backs the railroad brotherhoods in their strike, but offers no plan to extend walkouts to other unions. Brotherhoods, not members of the federation, face ongoing tensions with railroads and wage and work condition disputes.
