Safety Violations Denied by N and W in Labor Fight
The Transportation Department and Norfolk and Western Railway deny union charges of blatant safety violations during the strike. N and W cite stable safety records and a derailment caused by a road crossing incident. Union leader Fred Kroll alleges deteriorating tracks and unqualified workers amid reduced capacity. Frances Lewine of FRA says investigations found few problems. The 4,500 striking clerks seek job security and union expansion as negotiations continue in Richmond.
