The railroad industry which made $20 billion in profits last year cannot continue to deny workers paid sick leave. It is unacceptable and dangerous for conductors & engineers to be on call for 14 consecutive days, 12 hours a day & then get fired for going to a doctor.
@SenSchumer: Do not let Congress force a terrible settlement on the railroad workers! The ultra-profitable railroads can afford sick pay and decent wages.
How about BNSF not disrupt the US economy over rail workers getting a sick day?
The greed here is unreal. When was the last time you saw a corporate exec get written up for needing a doctor? If they’re so against sick days, they can give up theirs.
Stand with rail workers ✊🏽
