CSX reported $3.94 billion in quarterly revenue and approximately $1 billion in quarterly net earnings. Then it notified the union it plans to cut its maintenance of way workforce by 29% and defer capital track maintenance at the same time. Nine hundred system production employees will be furloughed by November 15. Human track inspections have been reduced by 40% in the past 90 days. Workers who find defects are being pressured not to report them. Jason Graham, one of today's guests, lives near East Palestine, Ohio. On today's episode of America's Work Force Union Podcast, BMWED General Chairmen Brian Thompson and Jason Graham discuss what is happening at CSX, why no other Class 1 railroad is doing this at the same scale, what deferred track maintenance actually means and what it will take to stop it.

#realism There must be something between 5 years and 30 years on BMWED contracts, Congressmen. If we're gonna supply the projects than it sure better be guarded by a MOW with more than a little experience. BMWED workers may have signed onto this reckless contract but not the public. STOP RR NOW

CSX advances major restructuring of operations, eliminating dozens of train crew jobs
Under the new system, CSX railmen would have to work in a wider geographic area, meaning longer shifts, increased workloads and fewer crew changes, further upending their lives and daily routines.
