Rank-and-file railroad track workers in The Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes have long fought for direct elections. The BMWED Rank and File United caucus has launched a 1M1V campaign with @TeamsterRnF's support, @joe_dmh reported last month: labornotes.org/blogs/2024/03/… 2/3
"No more Lac-Mégantics! No more East Palestines! We demand safe railroads! Public ownership of the railroads now!" @railroadworkers @labornotes
“At this moment, Colorado has the opportunity to not just legislate but to lead — to champion a cause that resonates beyond its borders, inspiring a national movement toward greater rail safety and accountability.” #coleg #copols coloradosun.com/2024/04/17/opi…
If any other company treated customers like this, would it still be in business? It’s time to examine public ownership of Class I railroads.

Very excited to moderate this @labornotes panel ft. organizers from truly incredible campaigns for public goods. From railroads to our networks and utility systems, workers have the skills & knowledge to lead the way out of private sector crises. Come find us on Friday, 3-4:40pm!
Jamie Boychuk pushes a radical #PSR overhaul with a ruthless plan to strip Norfolk Southern down to its studs for cost-cutting profits, a move akin to corporate cannibalism. trains.com/trn/news-revie…
Remember when courts stopped railroad workers from striking against BNSF’s draconian attendance policy? Today, that policy deepened its descent into absurdity. Evidently, BNSF is perfecting the art of corporate oppression.

Today, in a display of commitment to tradition, BNSF has ‘refined’ their ‘Hi-Viz’ attendance policy into something bordering on the archaic, showcasing how progress can indeed be reversed. Their dedication to upholding such morally questionable standards is truly remarkable.

As we await @USDOTFRA’s final rule, RWU reiterates our insistence on stringent standards that eliminate all exceptions, ensuring the safety & security of rail ops with a steadfast requirement for at least two crew members on every train. Compromising on safety is unacceptable.

Railroad track workers have launched a campaign to get their union officers elected by the members, rather than by convention delegates. labornotes.org/blogs/2024/03/…
East Palestine resident and @LIUNA Local 1058 member @coachcalbright and Editor-in-Chief for @TheRealNews, Maximillian Alvarez, joined the America’s Work Force Union Podcast to follow up on the event in East Palestine, Ohio over the weekend. bit.ly/43BCSgT
Pennsylvania train crash highlights shortcomings of automated railroad braking system (from @AP) apnews.com/article/0bebaa…
#ICYMI: SMART Rail, Mechanical and Engineering Director Peter Kennedy's testified before a House roundtable on #railsafety: "It's absolutely asinine. There's not enough workers to perform this critical safety work on locomotives and rail cars in this country."
Triggering such a disruption is not, and never has been, our union's strategy. However, proposals from both CN and CPKC jeopardize safety and are non starters for our union. We urge both companies to put safety over profits. #canlab #cdnpoli ipolitics.ca/news/potential…
It seems that whenever the rail industry is pushed towards safety or environmental improvements, the default response is to warn of chaos, costs, and calamity.

Colorado BLET members are working to secure passage of a major rail safety bill in the state’s legislature. BLET Colorado SLB Chairman Paul Pearson told the @ColoradoSun that legislators must address rail safety before considering passenger rail expansion. blet.link/49FEyak

@railroadworkers Found it: 7pts for a weekday 10pts for weekend 15pts high impact. They only have 30 they can use. NO change in the rate at which you can earn points back. No longer sliding vacation days.
Last year, @JosephMLombardo vetoed #AB456, similar to CO’s HB 1030. In my new piece, I explore how CO can succeed where NV failed, pushing for #railsafety against strong industry pushback. Discover my perspective in the @ColoradoSun. #copolitics #coleg coloradosun.com/2024/04/17/opi…
57% OR is just irresponsible. i don't even know how you do it. are they gonna ditch the engines and have the locomotive engineers drive the trains like the flintstone car or what
So the "activist" investors seeking a takeover of @nscorp are making it clear they plan to accelerate, not fix, the Wall-Street-ification of the railroads w/ even MORE "precision scheduled railroading," MORE cuts to lower their operating ratio... Link: progressiverailroading.com/norfolk_southe…
This is still just chilling btw... if anyone wants to consider publishing it
So, let's say, hypothetically, I just finished a 19k-word "review"/essay on Obama's Netflix series "Working," Studs Terkel, & class struggle in the 21st century. Which one of you cowards is bold enough to maybe, possibly, consider publishing it lol...
"In a letter to shareholders, Ancora officials detail their proposed... targets for a precision scheduled railroading-powered network, which includes reaching a 57% operating ratio." This is like pouring gasoline on a fire. The investor class will not be our savior.
Got over 5hrs of sleep for the 1st time since I left for East Palestine 10 days ago & the intensity from everything is kind of just washing over me. The messages of support have meant the world to me, to us—thank you. Take care of yourselves & each other. Solidarity forever ❤️✊🏽
@railroadworkers @KaminkowRon A true rank n file leader!!!
The truth about #unions is that they help working Americans. If you don't like unions, you don't like workers.
The data is in; #unions continue to build wealth for all Americans. According to @amprog, unions provide sustaining pathways to the middle class✊ americanprogress.org/article/unions…
Inflation is not about the dude at Arby’s who got a 50 cent raise 3 months ago or a $1,400 check 3 years ago. It’s about corporations making record profits by ripping-off Americans so CEOs can spend trillions on stock buybacks & dividends. It’s about corporate greed, boss.
The campaign for 1 Member 1 Vote in the BMWED is gaining momentum, and now you can read about it in Labor Notes!
Rail workers @bmwepower caucus now fight for 1M1V, inspired by @UAWD_Reform's push for direct elections that led to Shawn Fain. “We don’t think a handful of delegates can fully express how the membership is feeling,” BMWED member Deven Mantz told @joe_dmh: labornotes.org/blogs/2024/03/…
UPRR plans to introduce remote control locomotives in #LasVegas, echoing Houston’s risks. Hazardous trains could navigate our city without onboard engineers. The East Palestine disaster could pale in comparison. Demand stricter #railsafety measures! #nvleg ble-t.org/news/dont-trus…
