Conrail's Attempts To Control

Labor Costs And Improve

Its Labor Productivity



If Conrail is to attain financial self-sufficiency,
it must gain better control of its labor costs,
which are considerably higher than those of
other railroads. Some of the reasons for Con-
rail's high labor costs are linked to the nature
of its labor agreements.

Conrail is taking action to improve its labor
productivity. One major accomplishment has
been an agreement with the United Transpor-
tation Union to reduce the size of train crews.
GAO believes that Conrail's productivity, and
labor productivity in the rail industry as a
whole, could be improved if management and
labor worked together to change outmoded or
restrictive work rules.
