Working sick isn't safe. Solidarity with rail workers who packed the streets at CPKC Stadium to protest CPKC's refusal to provide paid sick leave to employees. The railroad paid millions for the naming rights to the stadium. It can afford to provide paid sick leave.

Happy Easter Brothers, Sisters and Allies! May this day be filled with joy, renewal, and cherished moments with your loved ones. #EasterSunday

🚨 We applaud the final rule on train crew size that U.S. Department of Transportation & The FRA announced today. For years, rail labor has sounded the alarm about the need for two-person train crews. Thanks to the Biden Administration, our calls for action have been answered: ttd.org/news-and-media…

The derailment last year in East Palestine, OH put rail safety on the front burner for millions of Americans. Right now, America has an important opportunity to make real change on rail safety—it’s time for industry and Congress to join us. time.com/6965303/east-p…

Four railroads have asked federal appeals courts to throw out a new rule that would require two-person train crews in most circumstances, saying the mandate is arbitrary, capricious and an illegal abuse of discretion. 🙄🙄

🚨 BREAKING: UNION YES! 🎉 4000+ CHATTANOOGA VW workers just voted overwhelmingly to join the UAW and unionize — despite pressure from Gov. Bill Lee Speaker Cameron Sexton and other powerful state Republicans pressuring them not to. #UnionStrong 💪🏽

In what is shaping up as a historic union win, the UAW is winning VERY BIG at Volkswagen -- by 78% to 22% -- with around 40% of the vote counted.

💪🏼💪🏼

A big thank you to Stephanie Kunze and Bill DeMora for sponsoring SB233: Stop, Look, and Listen. This common sense update to the law will provide protection to our brethren in the BMWED and the general public - and costs nothing! 👏

TEAMSTERS RAIL CONFERENCE JOINS ALLIES ON CAPITOL HILL FOR RAIL LABOR DAY Today, rank-and-file members and leaders from the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen) and the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes (BMWED) took to Capitol Hill to discuss
