SEPTA committee approves two union contracts



A SEPTA board committee has approved new labor contracts with two rail unions, paving the way for approval by the full board next week.

Members of both unions, which represent about 140 maintenance workers, clerks and passenger-service employees, voted last week to ratify the contracts, which provide a 5 percent raise over the 31-month term of the pacts.

The contracts with the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen and the Transportation Communications International Union/International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers followed the pattern set last fall by the contract negotiated with the largest of SEPTA's 17 unions, Transport Workers Union Local 234.
