SEPTA's worker-fatigue issue to be heard Feb. 10

The Federal Railroad Administration has set a Feb. 10 public hearing on a dispute between SEPTA and Regional Rail employees on a safety rule designed to limit workers' fatigue on the job.

SEPTA wants the FRA to renew a waiver that the transit agency has had from the work rule for two years. Unions representing train engineers and conductors have objected, saying SEPTA should be required to follow the rule.

The public hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. at Baldwin Tower, 1510 Chester Pike, Crum Lynne.
