At a time of record profits in the rail industry, it’s unacceptable that rail workers have ZERO guaranteed paid sick days. It’s my intention to block consideration of the rail legislation until a roll call vote occurs on guaranteeing 7 paid sick days to rail workers in America. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s not just the unions who understand that working conditions on the railroads, with no guaranteed sick leave, is inhumane. It is some of the railroads major customers. Read what @EByerNACD, president and CEO of the National Association of Chemical Distributors, recently wrote. — PolitiTweet.org

Guaranteeing 7 paid sick days to rail workers would cost the rail industry a grand total of $321 million a year – less than 2% of its profits. Please don't tell me the rail industry can't afford it. Rail companies spent $25.5 billion on stock buybacks and dividends this year. — PolitiTweet.org
