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 🇺🇸🚆🚂

With Precision Scheduled Railroading, railroads are choosing to boost profits by cutting safety measures, putting workers, communities, & the freight rail industry at risk. Learn why rail workers are sounding the alarm about #PSR in this must-watch video: youtube.com/watch?v=t9cc4E…

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 - railroad era ever. We need to keep it that way. static.smart-union.org/worksite/Video…

As employee fatalities rise in the #rail industry, this is what Rep. Scott Perry thinks about legislation containing common sense railroad safety provisions: nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%… #ruleof2

Today’s bipartisan framework is a big step & shows a real willingness to get an infrastructure deal done. I look forward to bringing my surface transportation bill to the House floor next week to put bold plans in motion. It’s time to get out of the 1950s.

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. youtube.com/watch?v=t9cc4E…

By examining the alarming practices and conditions rail employees experience on a daily basis, we hope the U.S. GAO will shed light on this out-of-control business model. ttd.org/news-and-media…

Following years of blindly eliminating rail jobs, Union Pacific has made the shocking announcement that it will halt all shipments of int'l containers from the West Coast to Chicago for up to a week. trains.com/trn/news-revie…

Let's look at the facts. Since Precision Scheduled Railroading took over Class I railroads, freight carriers, including UP, have furloughed 1000s of qualified employees across all crafts. Layoffs are so vast that overall rail employment stands at the lowest in recent history.

Thank you Peter DeFazio for speaking the truth about #PSR. The railroads' greed and submissive posture to #WallStreet is threatening #railroad workers, the American #economy, #infrastructure and public. fortune.com/2021/07/21/pet…

For the safety of all, rail passengers must not harass or interfere with train crew and staff in performing their duties. FRA Deputy Administrator Amit Bose wishes everyone a safe Labor Day weekend travel. Remember to #MaskUp!

GOP efforts to weaken worker power must not be tolerated. #SMARTTD stands with Congressional Workers Union and is prepared to fight every step of the way. Decency and respect is never too much to demand. #Union
