Book Description
Excerpt from Wage Orders: Interpretations and Supplements of U. S. R. R. Administration and U. S. R. R. Labor Board To correct wrong impressions that may exist regarding the employment and conditions of labor in railway service, it is until further order directed that - 1. All acts of Congress to promote the safety of employes and travelers upon the railroads, including acts requiring investigation of accidents on railroads, and orders of the Interstate Commerce Commission made in accordance therewith, must be fully complied with. These acts and orders refer to hours of service, safety appliances, and inspection. Now that the railroads are in the possession and control of the Government, it would be futile to impose fines for violations of said laws and orders upon the Government, therefore it will become the duty of the Director General in the enforcement of said laws and orders to impose punishments for willful and inexcusable violations thereof upon the person or persons responsible therefor, such punishment to be determined by the facts in each case. 2. When the exigencies of the service require it, or when a sufficient number of employes in any department are not available to render the public prompt transportation service, employes will be required to work a reasonable amount of overtime. So far as efficient and economic operation will permit, excessive hours of employment will not be required of employes. 3. The broad question of wages and hours will be passed upon and reported to the Director General as promptly as possible by the present Railroad Wage Commission. Pending a disposition of these matters by the Director General, all requests of employes involving revisions of schedules or general changes in conditions affecting wages and hours will be held in abeyance by both the managers and employes. Wages, when determined upon, will be made retroactive to January 1, 1918, and adjusted accordingly. Matters of controversy arising, under interpretations of existing wage agreements and other matters not relating to wages and hours will take their usual course, and in the event of inability to reach a settlement will be referred to the Director General. 4. In Order No. 1, issued December 29, 1917, the following appeared: "All officers, agents, and employes of such transportation systems may continue in the performance of their present regular duties, reporting to the same officers as heretofore and on the same terms of employment." The impression seems to exist on some railroads that the said order was intended to prevent any change in the terms of employment during governmental operation. The purpose of the order was to confirm all terms of employment existing upon that date, but subject to subsequent modifications deemed advisable for the requirements of the service. Any contrary impression or construction is erroneous. Officers and employes will be governed by the construction here given. 5. No discrimination will be made in the employment, retention, or conditions of employment of employes because of membership or non-membership in labor organizations. The Government now being in control of the railroads, the officers and employes of the various companies no longer serve a private interest. All now serve the Government and the public interest only. I want the officers and employes to get the spirit of this new era. Supreme devotion to country, an invincible determination to perform the imperative duties of the hour while the life of the nation is imperiled by war, must obliterate old enmities and make friends and comrades of us all.
