(Editor's Note: This came out today and has nearly 1.5 million views already! Please circulate it broadly. While those of us who work on the railroad might find some fault, and others may find the humor and language offensive, host John Oliver hits on so many of the basic safety issues that we as rail workers have pushed for years. Once again, our issues continue to percolate into the mainstream, and we continue to give the Class One carriers a black eye. NOTE: At 20:30 into the film, make sure to listen closely to the testimony on safety by none other than deceased rail CEO and PSR founder Hunter Harrison, preceded by locomotive engineer and RWU member Scott Wilcox.) |
