Today, all U.S. rail worker unions and the AFL-CIO Transportation —stock buybacks: nostockbuybacks.org. Specifically, we are calling on railroad CEOs to halt all stock buybacks until they adequately invest in safety. Please help us amplify the website, the accompanying petition, and the message that public safety matters more than profits
Here is a story by the Associated Press about it and a press release on TTD’s website.
This story was also published by the Washington Post, ABC News, The Hill, Fortune, US News and World Report, KTSP in MN, WGAU in GA, Times Daily in AL, Jacksonville Journal Courier in IL, Morning Sun in KS, The Derrick in PA, Kiro Newsradio in WA, Seattle Post-Intelligencer in WA, Mainstee News Advocate in MI, KDVR in CO, KTVZ in OR, San Antonio Express News in TX and SFGate in CA. We will share other articles as they become available.
Additionally, we continue to support the nostockbuyback.org aviation union, which launched last year. Learn more about this campaign by visiting nostockbuybacks.org/aviation.
