Poisoned For Profit: Why This Corporation Blew Up A Train - More Perfect Union

[TexasTowelie]

Two years ago, a Norfolk Southern train derailed in East Palestine.
Then the railroad giant conducted a massive—totally unnecessary—toxic burn.
Two years later residents are still sick, still suffering the impacts of toxic fumes, and still demanding accountability.

1. They shrunk the crews back in my RR days.

On through-freight it kind of made sense--less so on local and yard jobs. Now they seem to be cutting past what makes sense.

I lived through UP mergers, one with CNW, and one with SP. Combine, consolodate, economize, and worship all things efficient became the only tirick they knew. I see they are doing the same with the NS merger.

There is so much they could do to truly make/save money that didn't involve cutting people. They choose cutting people every time.

A couple of decades ago, my job changed cities and I didn't. I'm glad I am not involved with the potential current merger.
