Help save two man crews in the railroad industry. Say YES to HR 3040 Safe Freight Act

Created by J.R. on July 19, 2014

This not only saves peoples jobs but also insures the publics safety in the railroad industry. The railroad and SMART union is basically wanting to eliminate the conductor spot. It has already been proven that one man crew is not safe at all for instance the tragic accident in Lac-Megantic, Quebec, Canada could have been avoided if two people were working on this train. Two crew members are necessary for proper train securement; 47 lives were lost because of corporate greed. Two sets of eyes is better than one. Your also talking about thousands of jobs lost their are more conductors on the railroad than engineers it would basically down size the railroad industry by well over 50%. Please sign this petition in order so help save jobs, and ensure safety to the public. Say yes to HR 3040
