Bernie backs railroad workers union

[Bernie] argued that railroad companies are making huge profits and should start treating their workers more fairly.

“The rail industry has seen huge profits in recent years and last year alone made a record-breaking $20 billion in profit,” Sanders said. “Last year, the CEO of CSX made over $20 million in total compensation, while the CEOs of Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern made over $14 million each in total compensation.”

By contrast, Sanders said that workers in the freight rail industry are “entitled to a grand total of zero sick days.”

Working conditions — more than pay demands — are holding up the resolution of a years long labor dispute between the nation's largest freight rail companies and their unions.

The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, and The SMART Transportation Division say in statements that they need paid sick leave and better policies around work hours, before they sign onto the deal, according to a recent statement.

There is no need for a #strike if #management agrees to reasonable #pay and #leave policies for #railroad #workers.
