Machinists to merge with rail workers - By RIP WATSON, BLOOMBERG NEWS

"We're joined by our common heritage as rail unions founded more than a century ago and by our growth over the years to include workers throughout the transportation industry," Buffenbarger said in a statement posted on the IAM's Web site.------------------------------------------- posted 8:39 AM :: reference link ::
