"It was the regulations that led to the aforementioned work rules, commuter rail expenses, ad nauseam."What Gov't regulations apply here? These were collective barganing agreements between unions & carriers which the Gov't had nothing to do with. Remember, unions were much stronger back then. Example; They had a work rule that allowed 8 hrs pay for each 100 miles traveled for operating crafts. So say you went one round trip from Penn Sta NYC to Harrisburg which is ballpark 360 mi. you got paid 2 & 1/2 days pay for less than 12 hrs actual work. Don't get me wrong, I'm a union man, but that rule was a big ball & chain around Penn Central's neck. Rule is long gone when MGT smartened up. BTW That rule was a part of the MN 1983 strike. It went to arbitration. The union lost. |
