The Nation : 3 Unions, Railroad Settle
- Share via
The Long Island Rail Road settled with three more striking unions, but trains were idle for a ninth day on the nation’s largest commuter line as five unions still lacked contracts. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the Police Benevolent Assn. and the International Brotherhood of Firemen and Oilers reached separate pacts with the railroad. Signalmen, train repairmen, metal workers, electricians and plumbers are still negotiating. The unions with settlements will continue to honor strikers’ picket lines.
