The House just voted to pass seven days of paid sick leave for rail workers.
We are grateful to @HouseDemocrats and the 3 lone @HouseGOP members whose courage moved them to vote YES and stand with workers.
These elected leaders are true champions of working people.
Railroads think that they can boost profits by cutting the number of workers operating trains, but this puts workers & communities at serious risk. This is why Pres. Biden has called for #2CrewTrains & we agree: the Rule of 2 is essential. @TransportDems https://t.co/LtKlgPYH4h

Having an instant responder (2nd crew member) on a train is a must to help protect public safety when train mishaps (like the one experienced by our Illinois member) occur! @SenatorDurbin@SenDuckworth https://t.co/dnw8W8Cqrb
Reduced turnover. Higher employee morale. Safer working conditions. There are plenty of reasons employers should love & support unions.
