| Post subject: | WP&Y labor agreement |
As far as I know, America's only unionized tourist railroad, since the Silverton and the California Western were sold: From Progressive Railroading: UTU, White Pass & Yukon Route ratify four-year contract United Transportation Union-represented employees recently ratified a four-year agreement with the White Pass & Yukon Route Railroad that includes a year of retroactive pay and staves off major rule changes. The previous contract expired Dec. 31, 2005; the railroad and union had been negotiating an agreement since January 2006. A tourist railroad, the White Pass & Yukon Route logged 431,000 passengers during the May-to-September 2006 tourism season. The railroad operates 67.5 route miles between Skagway, Alaska, and Carcross, Yukon. |
