LABOR

Railway United States | Railroads Labor Organizations


About 80 to 85 percent of all railway workers in the United States are represented by labor organizations. Some of these unions include only railway workers; others include workers both from the railways and from other industries. Members of these unions negotiate with the railroads through chosen representatives (Railway United States | Railroads Labor Organizations). In the course of many years of negotiation, and some bloodshed, an extensive and complicated system of rules and regulations governing wage schedules and working conditions was developed. See Railroad Labor Organizations (Railway United States | Railroads Labor Organizations).
