Rail unions press for congressional action in potential nationwide strike
President Kennedy faces a pending report drafted by a presidential panel on the four year rail labor dispute. The panel will circulate a draft to carriers and unions before finalizing for White House guidance. Carriers insist only legislation can avert a nationwide strike and say mock work practices hinder negotiation. Wirtz comments on bargaining efforts and possible compulsory arbitration. Union leaders caution against public pledges being breached amid report proceedings. Congress has until July 29 to pass a bill to avert a strike and railroads push back on immediate work rule changes.
