Regulators Blast Union Pacific for Running Unsafe Trains
Regulators Blast Union Pacific for Running Unsafe Trains
The nation’s largest freight rail carrier failed to fix and continued to use faulty equipment, according to the Federal Railroad Administration. Managers reportedly pressured inspectors to leave the yard so they could keep freight moving.
Blast them with
finesoperating expenses?How will they ever recover from such a BLASTING?!
A company that large can't be meaningfully regulated, as we saw during the recent labor disputes. They do as they please and any fine they incur is less than what they make by breaking the law.
This is the sort of shit antitrust is for.
It's also something that can be cured by a strong union negotiating for safer conditions. It's a good idea to stop rail unions from striking for some reason though....
As they say, that's no way to run a railroad.
It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion.
Best post today. Keep it up
Is this just more anti-union propaganda? /s
