For years, freight rail workers & their unions have sounded the alarm about the dangers of PSR, a destructive business model where railroads opt to boost profits by cutting safety measures - putting workers, communities & the freight rail industry at risk. https://t.co/B6Y02PuKty
By examining the alarming practices and conditions rail employees experience on a daily basis, we hope the @USGAO will shed light on this out-of-control business model. https://t.co/KfQ38sy3NN
A surface transportation reauthorization bill introduced June 4 by chair of the @TransportDems Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) has a wide-reaching positive impact for members of the SMART Transportation Division.

Imagine an industry willing to jeopardize the public’s safety for profit. That is what the railroad industry is wanting to do to you. The #Ruleof2 has brought the safest - and richest - era ever. We need to keep it that way. https://t.co/vcm13Fl92F
Railroad workers continue to maintain the flow of goods during the COVID-19 pandemic, and they will continue to work to keep America moving forward into economic recovery. #RailDay2021 🇺🇸🚆🚂
