14 Billion Hollar Koad Block I

Railroads must operate around the clock every day and night of the year. Although they know this, leaders of 16 railroad unions are demanding a five-day, Monday through Friday, week for one million railroad employes. They want 48 hours pay for 40 hours work —in itself a 20% wage increase. They also demand a minimum of 12 hours pay for any work performed on Saturdays, and 16 hours pay for any work performed on Sundays and holidays. On top of all this they want an additional increase of 25c an hour for every employe! You’d Pay the Bill! Summing up these demands, they mean that these union leaders seek to force the railroads to give on** million employes an annual raise which would average SISOO per employe! f The total cost of this would be no less than 14 billion dollars per year, which is more than twice the expected net income of the railroads this year. You’d pay the bill, because if these increased costs are forced on the railroads,

they must have still further rate and fare increases. Demands Unreasonable p These employes have had substantial, raises during and since the war. Their average weekly earnings are higher than the average weekly earnings of workers in manufacturing industries. They have more job security than the average worker in American industry. They also enjoy paid vacations, a retirement system and other advantages more generous than the average worker receives. In contrast with the demands of these 16 unions, which add up to the equivalent of 48c an hour, the Conductors and Trainmen recently settled their wage request for an increase of 10c an hour.

Railroads Run for Everybody— Not Employes Alone The railroad industry must serve not one but many groups—producers, businessmen, shippers, passengers and the general public — night and day, every day of the year. These unions are proceeding in utter disregard of this important difference between railroads and other industries. Industrial plants can be shut down over weekends and holidays, but freight, mail, express and passengers must continue to move. Everybody who enters railroad employment knows this. Strike Threat On September 18, 1948, the leaders of these 16 unions began taking a strike vote. But the threat of a strike will not alter the opposition of the railroads to such unreasonable demands!
