Let’s start with the Ohio derailment that happened last Friday - what has been the fallout from that from a union perspective? The call to ask for more safety measures seems to be a double edged sword in that the unions would like to see more oversight into safety but doesn’t want to see automation and technology replace jobs.  What are they looking for here? Why do you think it was this derailment that got unions in motion about calls for safety? Topic: Rail Unions make inroads on sick leave Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is coming to the rail unions’ back with calls for them to gain sick leave benefits - Indiana Republican Mike Braun joined Sanders - this movement has some interesting momentum several months after Congress ended the rail labor negotiations - where are we now with these developments?
