“Labor Day is the holiday for the working man. The day that celebrates the hard work and dedication we go through to support our families. I wish all TCU members and hard working men and women everywhere an enjoyable Labor Day,” said TCU President Bob Scardelletti.

“This case highlights the critical importance of winning presidential elections. For years, the Department of Labor, OSHA, and the FRA were hamstrung in carrying out their safety oversight functions by the Bush Administration, who packed the top of those agencies with pro-company, anti-worker appointees. President Obama has done just the opposite. As a result, we’re beginning to get the aggressive attention to safety that our members need and deserve,” said TCU President Bob Scardelletti.
