Rail Strike Legislation Faces Unified Union Opposition
Washington AP Eight congressional action on a binding arbitration bill to resolve the mass job cuts in the rail industry faces swift opposition from presidents of five unions. The measure would form a seven member board to rule within six months if no negotiated deal is reached, with hearings to start within 30 days and a 60 day ruling on key issues including eliminating 32 000 firemen jobs and cutting train crews. The Senate action stalls largely over union resistance and the looming midnight deadline for new work rules.
