Collection material in English
U.S. Emergency Boards No. 130 (1960) and No. 145 (1962) were established to
investigate and settle disputes involving the Akron and Barberton Belt Railroad and
other carriers represented by Eastern, Western, and Southeastern Carriers'
Conference Committees and certain employees represented by eleven cooperating
(non-operating) railroad organizations.
Emergency Board No. 130 dealt with a dispute arising out of the vacations with pay,
wages, and improvements in health and welfare plans. The Board recommended a general
wage rate increase of five cents per hour, additional carrier contributions to
dependent benefits and group life insurance, and a seventeen cents per hour,
cost-of-living adjustment.
Emergency Board No. 145 was created to settle an impasse arising out of "section 6"
notices served by the parties on each other, proposing changes in existing
agreements. The organizations proposed a twenty-five cents per hour wage increase
and six months advance notice of reduction in force. The Carriers' Conference
Committees countered with a request for a wage reduction and the abolition of
provisions which required more than 24 hours notice of reduction in force. The Board
recommended a four cents per hour increase, effective immediately, plus a two and
one-half per cent increase, effective three months thereafter. It also recommended a
rule requiring not less than five working days notice of force reduction.
Carrier exhibits include documents relating to rates of pay, working conditions, job
descriptions, and fringe benefits in the railroad industry, especially regarding
non-operating employees. Also comparative wage data for clericals and workers in
other industries. Employee exhibits include job descriptions of shop craft, firemen
