Interesting. Given the hard line taken by the larger carriers and the hard line that the BLET has taken recently with some short lines we may see more strife in that area as well. If there is to be a PEB for the big guys, I'd expect smaller roads to follow suit if they have agreements in negotiation now. Certainly one PEB can hear more than one case... Given that the unions are seeing the country return to recognizing the need for rails, particularly as fuel costs rise sharply with corresponding better financial situations at the larger railroads (note that unfortunately this has not yet trickled down to many smaller lines as a lot of the growth is based upon intermodal) it could be a tough few years coming as the RRs use their leverage in a management friendly administration to impose efficiencies and remove work rules and attack crew consist agreements.
