The contract includes a fourth week of vacation for twelve-year employees, three more paid holidays (making twelve in all), pension increases, more health benefits and a guaranteed annual income of $5,800. This was a sweetener in return for the reduction in work crews from 20 to 17 men, recommended by Government mediators in October, and a "flexibility" clause that would permit employers to move cargo checkers from job to job during...
