Re: The IRT pre-unification

I would like to know more about the IRT in pre-unification days. In 1937 my father and his good friend became two of the first four black men to become subway conductors on the IRT system. What were the working conditions like back then ? I know that the hours for work ere 12 hours per day seven days per week with one day off per month, or something like that, but what other conditions went on for workers then ?
