US CONGRESS REPEALS AMTRAK 6 YEAR SEVERANCE PAY PROVISION

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that yesterday's bill, enacted by
Congress, puts to an end the 6-year severance requirement for Amtrak workers.

The bill also allows Amtrak to begin outsourcing (competitively contracting)
for services starting in 2000.

The 6-year public transit severance provision remains in place.
